Use Solid Edge Administrator to set user privileges

Solid Edge Administrator is designed for an administrator to set privileges for other Solid Edge users in the group.

  1. In Windows Explorer, copy SEAdmin.exe from the \Solid Edge\SptTools\SEAdmin folder on the Solid Edge DVD to the \Program Files\Solid Edge ST6\Program folder.

  2. In the \Program Files\Solid Edge ST6\Program folder, double-click the SEAdmin.exe file to start Solid Edge Administrator.

    Note:

    If you have not changed the default location of the Options.xml file on the File Locations tab of the Solid Edge Options dialog box, an error message appears informing you that no path has been set for the file. Click OK to dismiss the error message and open Solid Edge Administrator. Once you save your changes in Solid Edge Administrator, the File Locations page will update to reflect the new name and location of the Options.xml file.

  3. Click the Allow Override column next to the options you want to set.

  4. On the menu, click Yes or No to give users the appropriate override privileges.

  5. On the File menu, click Save.

  6. In the Save As dialog box, specify the folder for the new configuration file. The location must be a URL, UNC, or shared network connection.

  7. In the File Name box, type a new name for the file.

  8. In the Save As dialog box, click Save.

  9. Notify users to use the File Locations tab to update the Solid Edge Administrator file location to point to the appropriate configuration file.

Tip:

To update the location, on the File Locations tab, select Solid Edge Admin, and then click Modify. The dialog box enables you to specify the location of the file. After specifying the location, click Open to accept the change and return to the File Locations tab. On the File Locations tab, re-select Solid Edge Admin and click Update to save the changes.
