I would like to know if there is a possibility for a user to make some changes on the language ,which is already defined by a modeler?

For example I am the one ,who defines a meta-model and hand the product over to users. I would like to know what the restrictions would be for these users to make changes on my language!

T.e If they are able to change just symbols or even relationships/rules!

Thanks in advance

Three things determine what metamodeling actions a user can do:

MetaEdit+ license: Workbench or Modeler

repository's per-user metamodeling rights: http://www.metacase.com/support/51/manuals/sysadmin/sa-2_3_2.html" rel="nofollow - Options | Repository | Metamodelers

in the multi-user version, the http://www.metacase.com/support/51/manuals/sysadmin/sa-2_3_2.html" rel="nofollow - Metamodeling security setting, and whether another user already has a lock required for the metamodeling action

With MetaEdit+ Modeler, even a user with metamodeling rights can only change symbols, generators, and property dialog layout, and also hide unwanted types with Type Browser | Remove Type.

If the user doesn't have metamodeling rights in the repository, he can't do any metamodeling there, regardless of which license he has.
