Before running a tool in the Utility Network, what connection is required?

To successfully run a tool in the Utility Network, being connected as the database UN Owner is essential. This connection grants the user comprehensive access to the underlying database schemas and data essential for executing various tools and operations within the Utility Network framework. The UN Owner possesses the necessary permissions to alter and interact with the data model, manipulate network features, and manage both the functionalities and configurations integral to the Utility Network.

Different roles, like project managers or external consultants, might have limited access depending on the permissions set in the database. A regular user typically does not have the elevated privileges that the UN Owner does, which restricts their ability to run certain tools that require more comprehensive access to the data and configurations associated with the Utility Network. Therefore, having the appropriate ownership privileges is critical for undertaking tasks that can modify or analyze network features within the Utility Network.
