Protecting database-wide settings (global settings)

There are a number of database-wide settings that, by default, can be edited by all database users. These global settings can be protected, allowing only edits by database owners to be saved.

If database-wide settings protection is on, the buttons allowing edits in the following InfoWorks WS Pro dialogs will be disabled for all users that are not database users:

• Set Remote Roots dialog
• User Defined Flags dialog
• User Defined Field Names dialog
• Live Data Flags dialog (only the administrator operation)
• Default Logo dialog
• Pipe Materials dialog
• Choice list dialogs
• Weather Feed Configuration dialog
• Weather Feed Properties dialog

Also in the following IWLive Pro dialogs:

• Server dialog
• Configure Clean Up dialog
• Configure Verification Results dialog

To protect database-wide settings:

1. As an administrator and database owner, select File | Master database settings | Users and permissions.

   This opens the Users And Permissions dialog.

   The Implement users and permissions in this database box must be checked.

2. Check the Only database owners can change database-wide settings box.
3. Click OK.
