ER/Studio - Embarcadero Technologies Product Documentation

Working with the Repository
The Repository provides access to diagrams for more than one person at a time. Modelers can update or delete
model information simultaneously by working with ER/Studio in the normal fashion and by merging their changes into
a single model.
This section provides usage information for Repository Users.
NOTE: Repository architecture, setup, maintenance, control, and query options are covered in the
Administrator’s Reference.
NOTE: The Developer’s Edition of ER/Studio does not support ER/Studio Repository access. Users of
the Developer Edition will not be able to log in to a Repository Server or access the server in any
way from ER/Studio.
Logging In and Out of the Repository
To use the Repository operation, you must first log in. During the Repository Installation, a default user name and
password Admin is set as the default. The Admin user name and password has Super User privileges, which means
Admin has all available Repository Privileges. The Admin user should secure the Repository by creating users and
roles. For more information, see Establishing Security for the Repository.
When you are finished working with the Repository, you should log out. If you close ER/Studio, you are automatically
logged out of the Repository.
Log in to the Repository
1 Click Repository > Log In.
2 Complete the Repository Log In dialog and then click OK.
The following describes the options that require additional explanation:
User Name: If the Repository is being used for the first time, the default user name is Admin. This is
case-sensitive.
Password: If the Repository is being used for the first time, the default password is Admin. This is
case-sensitive.
Log in using current Windows Account: Select this option to log in to the repository using the user name and
password of the current Windows user. This option accesses the LDAP server on the network to verify the user’s
credentials.
Notes
• You should change the Admin password after the initial log in.
• The Admin user can’t be deleted. This prevents an accidental lockout. You can set up additional users with Roles
and Privileges to maintain Repository security.
• If an administrator changes the repository security, users must login again to update their permissions.
