Managing Access to Models

About Model Access Control

New Feature

DAI 6.3 departs from the single group-based access control for models of previous DAI versions. Model access can now be shared with lists of multiple users and groups.

In Eggplant DAI, the user who creates a model automatically gets assigned access to it. They can share access to models they have access to with multiple users and groups by listing each one in the Model's Access Control List.

Admin users and API clients have access to all models. Admin users have the permissions to create groups and add users to groups. Note that changes to a user's group memberships will take a few minutes to reflect if the user is logged in. Get the user to log out and back in to have them take effect instantly.

Update Model Access

Share access to a model with specific users and groups so they can also update the model, run tests, or view test results.

  1. Go to Designer > Models and find the model that you're interested in.
  2. From the actions menu on the model, select Model Access.
  3. Select or remove the users and groups that you want to have access to your model and click Save.
note

Access via group membership will not be immediately reflected. See Manage Model Access for more.
