PDM works
PDM works
(OP)
We are now about 4-6 weeks in using PDM works, and I am likeing how it works, but I have some assys that I do not want modified in any way. How can I lock down an assembly and its parts so that no one can edit the assy or parts, i.e. I would like to make the assy and parts read only.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks in advance.

1. You could try creating a project that they only have read access to and moving them there.
2. Enable Lifecycle and create a "state" like "Released" in which they only have read-only access.

RE: PDM works
Create a project called the top assembly number or if you use project numbers, that will work. Give yourself read/write to that folder, everyone else will have read only. You check-in all the files. Once done remove your read/write access and change it to read only. Your Admin will have read/write, so that if someone wants to change a file in the future the admin will have to move the file to a different folder.
Good Luck.
