Enter or Modify an Access Group for a Maintenance Program

Explanation

This activity is used to enter or modify the access group for a maintenance program. When you assign an access group to a maintenance program, only users connected to the access group can view or update the information on the maintenance program. With the Access Control functionality users are defined per access group. All users that are members of an access group will have access to all maintenance programs defined with the particular access group. If you have access to a maintenance program you can,

• View and modify maintenance plans for the selected maintenance program. 
• Connect a maintenance program to a serial. For more information, refer to the activity Connect Maintenance Program to Serial.

Access groups can be entered or updated for a maintenance program independent of the status of the maintenance program. A maintenance program can have any of the following valid statuses: Preliminary, Active or Obsolete. Only one revision of a maintenance program can be active at any given time.

Prerequisites

To perform this activity, access groups must have been defined in the Establish Access Group window.

System Effects
