New in version 1.1.
This document defines how a part or a document can be published to be accessible to anonymous user.
A part or a document can be publish if and only if it is official.
Only an user who belongs to the object’s group and who has the permission right to published an object can publish an object. The permission right can be set via the admin interface.
An user who can publish a plmobject is a publisher.
The interface should ask a confirmation and the user’s password before publishing a plmobject. This confirmation dialog should warn about the main consequence of a publication: a publish part or document is fully accessible to everyone, including anonymous users.
A published plmobject can be accessed by all users, including anonymous users.
The URL to access a published object must follow the following pattern:
- /object/type/reference/revision/public/
An anonymous access to an unpublished object must redirect to the login page.
The public page of a part shows the following data:
- its type
- its reference
- its revision
- its name
- its state
- its publication date
- all specific attributes that are marked as public
- all published document that are attached to this part
- all published related revisions
The public page of a document shows the following data:
its type
its reference
its revision
its name
its state
its publication date
all specific attributes that are marked as public
all published part that are attached to this document
all published related revisions
its non deprecated files, for each file, the following data are available:
- its filename
- its size

- all user data (owner, signers, notified users, creator...)
- all unpublished related revisions
- all related comments
- the history

A published plmobject stays visible when it is deprecated.
A publication can be undone by a publisher who belongs to the object’s group.
The interface should ask a confirmation and the user’s password before unpublishing a plmobject.
An anonymous user should be able to browse all published plmobject. He must not be able to see an unpublished object while browsing all objects.
