Hi Stan, thanks for the prompt response.
I've actually configured a network deployment in line with Marc Thomas's blog post (communities.bentley.com/.../aecosim-building-designer-ss6-quickconfig). Therefore we don't use the User, Project & Interface drop-downs in the way you're describing.
A "CompanyStartup.cfg" script remaps each user's workspace to the network deployed workspace. We leave User & Interface as their defaults ("BuildingDesigner" & "default" respectively), and only change the Project drop-down to select the particular project we're working on.
Our BIM server file-structure is as follows & Windows permissions are as follows:
Everyone has read-write access to:
\\BIM\_Projects
\\BIM\_Users
\\BIM\_Users\<username>\prefs
\\BIM\_Users\<username>\interface
Read-write (BimAdmins) & read-only (BimUsers) to:
\\BIM\_Workspace
\\BIM\_Workspace\Dataset_Company
\\BIM\_Workspace\PCF
\\BIM\_Workspace\Standards
I was just wondering if there was a way to lock-down particular nominated DGN's in a project via the PCF (or some other mechanism only modifiable by BimAdmins. Forcing the nominated DGN's to open read-only would be one way; An acceptable alternative would be if we could perhaps password protect nominated DGN's against being edited (reads ok)?
