Making Libraries read-only

[Guenther Sohler]

Does anybody know, how you could have libraries restricted
read-only in cadence, although they are writable in unix ?

In 5.0.33 teere is a UI to unix access rights in the
Library Manager

Edit -> Access Permissions...

But I don't think that you can separate DFII libraries access rights
form unix ones, because the database structure is a unix directory
structure.

For what reason do you want to have this?

Hallo Bernd,

in some configurations I want our users not allowed beeing able to edit a
cellview, because they are not supposed to. For beeing able to edit these,
they should open cadence in a dedicated place(with different cds.lib)

 

You can define a trigger for the edit function, that checks the working
directory of your session. If it is the one you want, then you can call
the edit function. If not, then open the cell in read mode.
You would have to customize the library manager for that as well, so
that the users do not get confused.

There's an example on doing something like this in an article I wrote for
sourcelink 6 years ago...
