feature "Add related" available also for user having only the right to read the items

The system engineer defines the requirements. In our setup, only the system engineer has the create and edit right on the requirements. Other team members have only right to read.

The engineer starts to create his realization concept, which would be downstream of the requirements. Currently since he has only right to read the requirements, he is not able to make used of the function "Add related".

It would be great if we could have this feature "Add related" available also for users having only the right to read the items.

    Hi Lien,

    from the top of my head, here is my suggestion for a workaround which most likely you thought of already.
    You can create a project exclusively for your system engineer to create his/her requirements in and at a certain point in time you reuse & sync those requirements to a different project where your engineers have write access to --that would allow your engineer to add related items. If needed you can check whether the synced system engineer requirements are in or out of sync to make sure both components/sets are the same and haven't been modified.

    You might also consider to reuse & sync within the same project and set different access rights for your engineers on the components.

    We use a similar approach and all things considered it works for us.

    Hi Lien:

    Thank you for your idea here! Could you please add this idea to the Ideation module?

    Curious, is there any value to the system engineer who defines the requirements; for them to see this relationship to the various realization concepts?

    Best,

    Hi Chloe,

     

    I'll add this idea to the ideation module.

     

    All of the relationships to various realization concepts are important to the system engineer, who defines the requirements.

    By creating realization concept, the engineer reads the requirement. He must create a new item for realization concept, then create a relationship to the requirements. It would be much more effective, if the engineer during reading the requirement, he could directly use the function add related item.

     

    @Olaf: that is the reason, reuse and sync could not help us.

     

    Best,
