Question:
What commands are there available in the privileges.inp file?

Answer:
You can control the following items with privileges.inp:

1. Access to modify any user defined attribute - attribute:UDA_NAME
    Access to modify object properties - attribute:OBJECT_LOCKED
2. Access to modify numbering settings - action:PartnumbersOptions
3. Access to remove users in multiuser model - action:AllowMultiuserKick
4. Access to save standard files - action:SaveStandard

When you want to give the right only to one user or some users, first you have to exclude everyone and then  include the user(s).

1) You can control the access to any user-defined attributes.
attribute:UDA_NAME

You can control users' rights to modify object properties.
attribute:OBJECT_LOCKED

You can set the access right to "none", "view" or "full" to every UDA, except to OBJECT_LOCKED, which can be "none" or "full". “None” means that users cannot modify object properties.

2) You can define that undesired active multi-users can be removed from the user list (in Tekla Structures 14.0 and newer versions). Go to Tools > Active Multi-Users, right-click the undesired user, and select Clear locks. Then click the Refresh button to remove the user from the list.

Example:
action:AllowMultiuserKick     everyone   full

You can set the access right to "none" or "full".

3) You can disable Save/Save As for "standard" files.

Example:
action:SaveStandard    everyone none action:SaveStandard    ORGANIZATION\admin     full

You can set the access right to "none" or "full".

There are limitations of the control to save standard files: it works for model command (parts, bolts, rebars,...) and custom component only, but it does not works for example the Export IFC file or the drawing properties.

4) You can control the access to numbering properties.
action:PartnumbersOptions

Example:
action:PartnumbersOptions    everyone               none action:PartnumbersOptions    ORGANIZATION\admin     full

You can set the access right to "none" or "full". “None” means that only the administrator can modify the properties in the Numbering Setup dialog box.
