Capella provides a mechanism to disable commands categories and user profile management facility. Those preferences are common to all projects in a workspace (i.e. they have only one scope: the workspace) even if they are set on a specific project or referenced from a configuration project.
The visibility of several commands can be controlled using the commands preferences page.
Figure 1: Preference dialog showing Commands configurability preference page.
When the user disable one or more commands, displayed on the above dialog, this command will be automatically disabled on Capella Contextual menu, see the following figure.
Figure 2: the Functional transition, Data, and Capability was deactivated in the command preference dialog.
Capella offers two kind of user profiles. The User Profile preference page allows to switch from Standard User mode to Expert User mode and vice-versa.
In Standard User mode, expert preferences are not editable, see Expert preference scope in table below.
