By default, a user can create documents and other items associated with any of the disciplines available in the active configuration. However, the following options are available:

  • To limit the disciplines for a user, they must be related to the user.

  • The default behavior is that when no disciplines are configured on the user in the active configuration, the user will not have access to any of the disciplines. To change this behavior, you must replace the DISCIPLINESFORUSERINCREATECONFIG_OR_ALL environment variable with the DISCIPLINESFORUSERINCREATECONFIG variable in the PropComparisons property for the following edge definitions:

    • EDG_SDADocMasterDisciplineCreateConfig

    • EDG_SDAProjectComsDisciplinesCreateConfig

    • EDG_SDAWorkPackDisciplinesCreateConfig

    • EDG_FDWTagDisciplineCreateConfig

    • EDG_FDWAssetDisciplineCreateConfig

For more information, see Conditional data access.

For a user to query the documents and other items associated with any of the disciplines available in the active configuration, the ALLDISCIPLINESFORQUERYCONFIG environment variable is available for use. You can configure the above-mentioned edge definitions on the display items to achieve the following:

  • Return all the disciplines for the current query configuration.

  • If no disciplines are found for the current query configuration, the environment variable returns all the disciplines present in the next higher configuration level.

  • If no disciplines are found for the current query configuration, including any of the higher configuration levels, the environment variable returns nothing.
