Use this procedure to configure the security inheritance
of a folder.
About this task
This topic explains how to configure a folder to be a security
folder to documents or custom objects. For information on how to configure
those objects to inherit permissions from the folder, see
Configure security inheritance. Run
this procedure as part of your initial security configuration, after
you have added document classes and configured their Default Security
Instance tabs. It is best to establish security inheritance before
putting an object store into production.
For more information
about inherited security see:
Procedure
To configure a security folder:
- Log in to Administration Console for Content Platform
Engine as
object store administrator (object_store_admin).
- Open the Object Store node, select an object store, and
then open .
- Click the folder whose security will be inherited and click
the Security tab. The users or groups whose security you want to be
inherited appear on the list of names.
- Make sure the ACEs whose security will be inherited
have an Apply to setting of either This object and immediate
children or This object and all children.
- If the users or groups are not already in the list of
names, click Add to open the Select Users and
Groups dialog box. Use the Search capability to find the users or
groups you want and then add them to the folder's security list of
names.
- Select the user or group whose permissions you want to
be inherited, then click Edit. Make one or
more of the following changes:
- Select Allow or Deny.
- In Apply to, select This object and immediate
children (for only one level of inheritance) or This
object and all children (for infinite levels of inheritance).
- Choose the security level or individual rights that
will be inherited. In most cases you will choose from the rights marked (Inherit
only).
- Click OK and then Save.
- If necessary, configure the target documents and custom
objects to inherit the Inherit only permissions from
this folder. See Configure security inheritance.
