iLogic rule edit only by administrator

[ReneRepina]

Hello.

ILogic rule should have a possibility to be editted only by an administrator.

We have quite some iLogic rules in combination with Event Triggers.
In Vault they are locked and they are automatically downloaded on every session.

BUT, when session is active, users can easily access those iLogic rules and bypass them. This should not be allowed for normal users.

Current solution is to limit them on Windows/domain level, but since iLogic is really strong, it should have permission level abilities.

Similar idea for iLogic security:

Even though there is already a certain level of security measures included in Inventor's iLogic settings (as mentioned by Mike Deck in a reply to the Linked Idea post), it has been a complex topic for many years.  Individual users may simply be able to open those security settings within Inventor and change them, if there are no 'built-in' restrictions to prevent them from doing so.  Problems stemming from 'unauthorized/untrained people' creating / editing / deleting iLogic rules can be either intentional, or unintentional.  Some folks may simply not know enough about coding or iLogic to make some types of changes, which may result in unexpected / unfortunate results, unintentionally.  On the other hand, if a company has an employee who uses Inventor, and they become angry enough at the company or coworkers, and knows how to write code, the extent of the problems/damage they could cause seems to only be limited by how much access they have to company resources.  Granted, they may have multiple other resources available to them through which they could cause some havoc, and using iLogic for that purpose is likely pretty far from the top of the list for most folks.  So, there could definitely be some benefit to including additional security measures...but at what cost?  Often with more control comes more responsibility and complexity.
