Security permissions can be set for graphic elements and drawing objects, such as templates, node styles, and clip art. Follow the same rules as those used for establishing permissions for other elements, as described in the Operations Center Security Management Guide. These permissions apply when editing Layout view drawings. However, the permissions are ignored when a user views a saved drawing.
For example, a user does not need View privileges for a clipart image in order to see the clipart in a Layout drawing. However, in Edit mode, a user needs View permissions to add the clipart to a new drawing or to an existing drawing.
