Access rights to different data sources, elements and information
links in the library are specified on a folder level. If you have administrator
rights, you can give users or groups different levels of access to your
folders. The available levels of permission are described here. The folder
permissions can also be changed in the Library Administration tool.
About this task
Note: The licenses enabled for a certain user or group can limit the
functionality available for that user or group. See the
License feature reference for more
information.
Procedure
-
In
Information Designer,
create a new folder or
edit an existing one.
-
In the
Elements tree, right-click the folder whose
permissions to set.
-
Select Folder Permissions from the pop-up
menu.
The Library Folder Permissions dialog is shown.
-
Select whether the folder should inherit permissions from parent
folder by selecting or clearing the check box.
- If you choose to
inherit permissions, you cannot specify any other details. Click
OK and you are done.
- If you choose to
set explicit permissions then proceed to the next step.
When the check box is cleared, the fields showing the
available groups and the different levels of permission become available. The
previously inherited permissions are shown to give you a template to start
working from.
-
Use the drop-down list box below the search field to select
whether to
Search users,
Search groups, or
Search users/groups.
-
In the search field, type a search expression to display users or
groups of interest, and then click
Search.
Tip: You can use wild cards, or asterisks (*), to
simplify the search. For example, use * to display all users and groups, or
append it to a word to display all users and groups beginning with that word.
Example:
Group4* will find
Group41,
Group421 and so on.
-
Click to select the appropriate users or groups in the list, and
then click
> for the permission level they should
receive.
-
Repeat steps 5 through 7 until you have added all the users and
groups to the permission levels you want.
Tip: To remove a user or group from a permission level,
select it and click
<
for that permission level.
-
When you have selected the users or groups of interest, click
OK.
The folder is updated with the new permissions.
