3 Enter or revise the options in the Add Diagram to ER/Studio Repository dialog as appropriate, and then click
OK to exit the dialog.
The following describe options that require additional explanation:
Save As: Use to set the file name for a new, blank diagram or to change the file name for an existing diagram.
This will also create a local DM1 file with the same name.
Add to Repository Project: Click the list to add the diagram to an established project. For more information,
see Working with Repository Projects.
Bind Existing Enterprise Data Dictionaries: Select a data dictionary to bind to the diagram. This list is empty if
no Enterprise Data Dictionaries have been created. Using the Repository enables you to have more than one
data dictionary bound to your diagram, the local dictionary and as many of the Enterprise Data Dictionaries as
you like.
Promote Local Data Dictionary to Enterprise: Creates an Enterprise Data Dictionary based on the selected
DM1 file’s data dictionary.
Data Dictionary Name: If Promote Local Data Dictionary to Enterprise is selected, lets you change the name for
the new Enterprise Data Dictionary; otherwise, disabled.
Filename: When you add the diagram to the repository, the name of the local diagram file is automatically
assigned to the respective file in the repository, however, you can change the name of the file in the repository,
without affecting the local file name, by using the Change Diagram Filename command. For more information,
see Changing the Diagram File Name.
Notes
• After you add your diagram, if you want to place access restrictions on it, you need to have users and roles
selected and secure your diagram.
Securing Repository Objects
In the Repository Security Center, the user or administrator with Update Security Info privileges can restrict access to
the data model at the Project, Diagram, Model, Submodel, and Data Dictionary levels.
NOTE: In order to impose security on Repository objects, Repository Users and Roles must be created.
For more information, see Establishing Security for the Repository.
1 Click Repository > Security > Security Center.
2 In the Repository Object area, navigate to and then click to select the object you want to secure.
3 To give a user access to the selected object, from Available Users, click and drag a user onto an Available
Role. The user inherits the privileges of the role under which the user appears in the Available Role area.
To revoke a user’s access privileges, from Available Roles, click and drag a user onto an Available Role.
NOTE: The No Access role is available only at the Diagram and Project level.
4 Repeat step 2 and step 3 as required and then click OK to exit the security center.
5 Inform users that they must log out of the Repository and then log in again for them to receive Repository object
security updates.
