  2. Create a library named For Review and copy the required model to it.
  3. Create a profile named Business Analyst and include the following permissions:
    • Model, Modify
    • Model, Modeling Object, Subject Area, Create and Modify
    • Model, Modeling Object, Subject Area, ER Diagram, Create and Modify
  4. Assign the profile to Chris.

    Chris can now log in to Mart using his Windows credentials and review the model.
