[News.eclipse.technology.gmf] Access Privileges to manipulate the proper

[balraj.kannan@xxxxxx (Balraj Kannan)]

Hi,
  
 I have a requirement where in I would like to have control over the 
properties shown to the user. For ex: I would have two profiles say 
Developer and Operator. In the Developer's profile I should show all the 
properties present in the ecore model. But, under the Operator view I may 
show only few parameters. 

Let me explain this with an instance:

<root>
    <employee number='111' name='Abc' dept='Xyz'>
</root>

 Under Developer view I would like to show all the properties of the 
employee element i.e., number, name and dept. But under the Operator view 
I would prefer to show only the number attribute. 

 I don't want to have two ecore models here. I was wondering If I could 
manipulate the show properties functionality provided by the gmf. 

Please suggest how can I do this? 

Also, I am planning to distinguish between the roles of Developer and 
Operator  based on the perspectives for each. Is this a good option? Are 
there any other ways I can achieve the same?

Thanks in advance
Regards
Balraj
