Options and Rights
Several options and rights allow applying some restrictions on a list of drawings that can be displayed in Engineering Drawing.

- You can select a program to limit the access to some documents (sheets, Parts List, Parts Usage).
- You can select a MSN number in a Program to restrict information output (Parts Usage).
- You will have a specific right to view some documents. For example the "Detail Drawings" or "Unreferenced drawing" have a restricted access. In regard to your contract, you can have or not have access to this drawing sub-set.
These criteria allow you to focus on the specific information concerning just a program or aircraft in your fleet.
