Controlling Members Who Can Create Route Templates

As installed, any user with the Leader access role can create route templates. You can limit that ability to specific users. If you do not want to limit the ability to create route templates, you do not need to perform this task.

The app uses the route purpose as a basis for controlling who can create route templates. You can control the allowed users for each route purpose (review, approval, and standard) independently of each other. You can define one set of users who can create route templates using one route purpose, and other sets of users for the other route purposes. The app uses user groups to define each set of users.

Enter your changes in the emxSystem.properties page object. For more information, see Editing Properties Using MQL.

  1. Create a separate user group for each route purpose you want to control. If the set of users for all controlled route purposes is the same, you only need to create a single user group. If you add a user who does not have the Leader access role, that user will not be able to create route templates.

    For example, if you only want to control who can create route templates using the Approval route purpose, create a user group with those people. For more information, see Social and Collaborative: User Groups User's Guide.

  2. Create or open the text file to contain customized properties. For more information, see Editing Properties Using MQL.
  3. To define which route purposes you want to control, follow these steps:
    1. Add this property to the text file: 

      emxComponents.RouteTemplate.EnableCreationFor

    2. Add a comma-separated list of the route purpose types you want to control as the value.

      You can include any of these route purpose values:

      • Approve
      • Review
      • Standard
      Any route purpose not included in the property value is not restricted. For example:
      emxComponents.RouteTemplate.EnableCreationFor=Review,Approve

      In this example, any route template with the Review or Approve route purpose can only be created by members of the user groups added to the corresponding property. A route template with the Standard route purpose is not affected and any user with the Leader access role can create that type of route template.

  4. If you included Approve in the enable creation property, add this property with a comma-separated list of the required user group names as the value:

    emxComponents.RouteTemplate.ReviewUserGroups

  5. If you included Standard in the enable creation property, add this property with a comma-separated list of the required user group names as the value:

    emxComponents.RouteTemplate.StandardUserGroups

  6. When finished updating the text file with all the properties you want to modify, including the ones shown here, use the text file to modify the emxSystem.properties page object. For more information, see Editing Properties Using MQL.
