Add users and groups to a single object
Securable objects like documents and folders get their
initial security from the Default Instance Security ACL of their class
and possibly also from the class' default security policy, if there
is one. Authorized users can add to or change this initial security.
Directly changing a single object's security means that only that
one object will receive the changes. If the object is a document,
these direct changes to a single version will continue to appear on
later versions of the same document.
Add or remove a GCD administrator
As part of installing and configuring Content Platform Engine, at least one user
name is defined as the GCD administrator. You can view and edit the
list of users and groups at any time to add or remove GCD administrators
using the procedure below.
Add or remove an object store administrator
Each object store has its own list of object store administrators
(object_store_admin), initially created while running
the object store wizard. You can view and edit this list at any time
later on.
Allow users to add items to a folder
You can configure the security of a folder to allow users
to add new folders, documents, and other containable objects.
Change Bootstrap admin password
This procedure describes how to change the password for
the Content Platform Engine system
user (also known as the bootstrap administrator, or cpe_bootstrap_admin).
The credentials for this account are entered during Content Platform Engine configuration. Configuration
Manager places this user name and its password into the Content Platform Engine bootstrap file. When Content Platform Engine starts up, it uses
the account and password to authenticate against the user registry
defined in the application server.
Configure security inheritance FileNet P8 gives you tools to configure security inheritance, which is the passing of permissions from a parent object to a child object.
Configure multiple realms
You can create multiple authentication realms on your application
server. For each authentication realm that you create, you must also
create a corresponding directory configuration in Content Platform Engine so that the users and
groups in the authentication realm can be authorized.
Modify an object's security
Use this procedure to modify the security of an object
like a document or folder.
Restrict access to the root folder
Use this procedure if you want to keep some users from
adding documents and folders to the object store's root folder.
Take or change ownership
An object store administrator (object_store_admin)
might need to take or change ownership of an object. For example,
if a user has left documents in an exclusive checkout state but is
no longer available, the administrator could take ownership of the
document and cancel the checkout.
