Edit online

Before you begin

Make sure you have IBM® AD suite of applications installed and working;

Have at least a couple of projects created in IBM AD Build Client.

Publish the projects from IBM AD Build Client to IBM AD Configuration Server.

About this task

Workspaces can be Public, ACL (accessible by a specific list of domain users) or closed. In order to illustrate the way the workspace accessibility works let us have a look at the following scenario.

Procedure

  1. Create an environment. A Default workspace is created automatically and attached to the created environment. For this Default workspace set the accessibility to "Nobody".
  2. Create a second workspace, Workspace 2, set the accessibility for it as "ACL"(Access Control List). Add one or two users to Workspace 2. Add a couple of projects to Workspace 2.
  3. Create a third workspace, Workspace 3, set the accessibility for it as "ACL". Add one or two users to Workspace 3 (different from the ones added to Workspace 2). Add a couple of projects to Workspace 3 (different from the ones added to Workspace 2).

Results

Access IBM AD Analyze Client with any of the users added to Workspace 2: you can notice that the user can see only the projects existing in Workspace 2 where the user was granted access.

Access IBM AD Analyze Client with any of the users added to Workspace 3: you can notice that the user can see only the projects existing in Workspace 3 where he was granted access.
