Restrict Layer Translation Tables

You can restrict editing to only users who belong to a local administrator group associated with the site assigned to a Meridian repository.

To restrict editing layer translation tables to specific sites:

1. Create and edit the sites you want.

2. Assign the Meridian repository to a site:

   1. In Meridian Enterprise Server Administration Console, in the REPOSITORIES group, click Repositories.

      The Repositories page appears and lists the existing Meridian Explorer repositories and Meridian Enterprise vaults.

   2. Click the icon of the vault that you want to manage.

      The Overview page for the vault appears.

   3. In the Options pane, click EDIT in the Site name field.

   4. In the SELECT REPOSITORIES dialog box that opens, select the site you want to associate with the Meridian Enterprise repository.

   5. Click OK.

3. Add the local administrators group to each user you want to be able to edit layer translation tables:

   1. In Meridian Enterprise Server Administration Console, click System Management > User Management.

      The Users page appears and lists the existing user accounts.

   2. Double-click the user that you want to assign local administrator permissions.

      The Overview page opens with the user you selected.

   3. Click the Members button.

   4. Click Add.

   5. In the ADD GROUPS dialog box that opens, select the local administrator groups that you want to assign to the user.

   6. Click OK.

You can apply a layer translation table to specific Meridian repositories so that users in PowerWeb can only select from layer translation tables associated with their vault.

If you have the Application Administrators permission, you can select any Meridian vault. If you do not have the Application Administrators permission, but are a member of a local administrator group for one or more sites, you can apply the layer translation table to repositories associated with those sites.
