AIMMS PRO is a multi-user environment, designed to host several Apps used by several end-users. Information is shared by these users via these applications. Depending on the role of the app user in the organization, selected information may or may not be accessible. For instance, a planner may change the production plan, that plan can be inspected by management, but is not accessible to the HRM staff.





This blog post is the first post in a series of three to enable AIMMS app developers to model necessary file sharing in a secure manner. The topics of the three posts are:

1. Identify the user of the AIMMS PRO App and the AIMMS PRO groups they belong to
   
2. Upload files to AIMMS PRO Storage and download files from AIMMS PRO Storage
   
3. Grant access, via authorization strings, as appropriate to files in AIMMS PRO Storage
