EXTERNAL ACCESS





Where suppliers and other partners can collaborate…

© 2019 Aras43

Extending PLM to external users

▪ Secure External Access (SEA) connects external

partners to PLM data, while providing highly

secure access controls for IP

▪ Provides “direct” access with no data packaging

involved

▪ Supports multiple architectures for “supplier

portal”, “partner collaboration”, etc.

▪ Consists of multiple Aras platform components to

be phased in over time

PLM Data

Main Company

External User

© 2019 Aras44

Domain Access Control (DAC)

▪ DAC is used to grant access to project-specific data

▪ Users can belong to more than one project, in

different roles

▪ Access rules defined using Query Definitions

▪ Can be used alone or in combination with existing

Aras standard permissions or MAC Policy


© 2019 Aras45

Data Synchronization

▪ New service to selectively synch data between

servers

▪ Supports one or more separate external server

instances (on-prem or cloud)

▪ Enables identification, submission, and

monitoring of synchronized data
