[GIS] Granting permission in ArcSDE geodatabasewhen layers are inside geometric network

authenticationenterprise-geodatabase

When I use sdetable command to grant pemission to a table that located in a SDE SQL server geodatabase it works properly, this table is a non-spatial table which is in geodatabase immediately, I mean when I open geodatabase in ArcCatalog, I can see it in the root of geodatabase.

But we have a FeatureDataset named "dsDisNet" and almost all feature classes inside in this feature dataset are members of a geometric network(except one).When I use sdelayer command to grant permission for one feature class, it is done successfully but the user can't still update the table.

Here is steps I do:

  1. define a login in SQL Server, then define a user in geodatabase mapped to login
  2. give the data_reader role to this user, so user can see all layers successfully

  3. run this command

    sdetable -o grant -t myTable -U gisUser1 -A SELECT,INSERT,UPDATE,DELETE -s GISServer -i 5151 -D GDBase -u sa -p mypassword

and it works successfully, and this user can work with that table

  1. sdelayer -o grant -l myLayer,Shape -U gisUser1 -A SELECT,UPDATE -s GISServer -i 5151 -D GDBase -u sa -p mypassword

this last command doesn't work properly even it is run successfully,but the user still receive this message in ArcMap (something like this "cannot edit the folder or database you selected, the user doesn't have enough permission"

Is this problem because the layer is inside a feature dataset or member of geometric network? If so, how I can give update permission for this layer?

Best Answer

You can use ArcCatalog and in this case you need to grant the permissions on the feature dataset in which the network resides, not its individual feature classes.

Note that it's not the geometric network (or topology etc.) which dictates this approach, it's the presence of a feature dataset.
