Can we create a complete Secure Central repository with Access restriction( Read) to the Developers and Full Access(Full) to the Admin??
Yes this is pretty much possible with the Secure Central Repository in BODS.
It pretty simple.
You will be having the bellow users created.
1) Admin
2) Developer 1, 2, .. n
Go to Management console --> Administration --> Central repository (you can see your secure central repositories available here).
Expand your central repo and you can See Users and Groups.
Create two Groups Eg:- Dev and Admin. You will have a default Group called DIGroup.
Now go to Users Tab and map your Admin to Admin Group and DI Group and Developers to only Dev Group.
By this you are restricting the Developers with read access and providing full permission to the Admin
Now Go to your designer and configure your CR and login with the Admin Credentials (username and pwd)
Go to your Data stores and do a Check out ( Objects & dependents )
The developers will configure the same CR and login to that with Developer credentials.
Now the Developers will have a read access and on top of that those Data stores are Checked out by the Admin.
This gives you a full Secure Central repository.
Thanks
