User can't refactor using database data source

Hi

Do you mean the refactor section is still there? Could you please provide a screen shot?

Thanks

That is a link to a screen shot of the issue.

Hi

Being the SA makes you a super admin of RDM. When you are not an admin of SQL Server, you must specify manually that the user is an admin of RDM

UsingAdministration -> Users -> Edit user, check Administrator

I'll enter a bug to hide those empty ribbon sections. Dont want empty areas in there.

I will request a feature then...

Allow none admins to use these options.

If a user has view/add/edit/delete import/export etc...
why would you not allow them to refactor???

I don't want them to be an admin because I don't want that user to gain access to other users personal folders/password.

Hi

We'll add your request to the board and discuss this at our next prioritization meeting.

Thanks

Hi,
I understand the need but the refactoring could be a complex task like including add/delete/edit. This means that's hard to define which rights are required. That's why it's only for administrator right now.

Understandable and thank you both for the explanation.

The reason that I would like to see this feature added is this.

we have 4 users, and plan on adding more.
I have setup the database so that people working on projects have access to the places they need to go, but not to other places.
some users will be "admins" for certain projects and therefor need all permissions to change those sessions.

however, at Any given time, to make life easier, users have a personal directory into which they add personal projects, and credentials that go with the projects they have access to.

unfortunately that means that once the system is setup, the administration account, much be restricted to Never be used.
it is unacceptable that an administrator can log into the system and see other peoples passwords.

if that makes any sense.

it would be nice to have this feature, as then we would have a superuser that no one knows the password to, and a bunch of admins that can change anything they want, within their own little boxes.
Would also be nice if you had a way to make it so that other users could manage permissions. (but that is a dream)

The administrator is never able to see the user specific setting from another user. I will see if we could add a setting to allow refactoring as long as you have Edit/Add/Delete right
