You can configure a document or custom object to inherit
permissions from a folder. The folder can contain the document or
custom object, but this is not required.
About this task
Run this procedure as part of your initial security configuration,
after you have created document classes and configured their default
security instance tabs. It is best to establish security inheritance
before putting an object store into production.
Procedure
To designate a folder as a security parent:
- Log in to Administration Console for Content Platform Engine as
object store administrator (object_store_admin).
- Open the Object Stores node, select , and navigate to
the folder containing the document whose security inheritance you
are configuring.
- Click the folder's Security tab.
Make sure the folder has ACEs whose Apply to setting
is either This object and immediate children or This
object and all children.
- Click the folder’s Contents tab.
- Click the document and then click the document’s General tab.
- In the Inherit security from folder field
select a folder from the list.
All folders containing
the document will appear in the list. If the folder you want is not
in the list you will need to stop this procedure, file the document
in the folder, and then start again.
- Click Save.
- Click the document's Security tab
and confirm that it has inherited ACEs from the security folder. The
inherited ACEs will show a Source type of Inherited.
If the required rights do not appear, make sure that they are configured
to be inheritable on the folder.
