Folder Permissions

This Help topic refers to the following editions:

þ Professional þ Enterprise

 

Administrators will use the Folder Permissions Item located by right clicking the Folder and selecting Folder Properties, to add or delete Users and Groups and set permissions.

 

Each DocuXplorer object has its own set of properties and permissions. By default, an object's properties: users, groups and permissions are inherited from its parent object. Before making any changes to an object's permission properties an administrator must shut off inheritance by removing the check from the" Inherit permissions from parent" box. To propagate the changes to any child objects of the object being changed the administrator must place a check in the "Replace permissions on all child objects" box.

Tip:

 

Used to change permissions for the Folder object and allow all child object to inherit new users groups and permissions..

The Folder Properties/Permissions dialog box consists of:

 

Users/Groups dialog - in this area an administrator can add and delete users and groups for the Folder.

 

Select Permission Level for all objects - this field allows the use of preset permission levels. Preset Permission Levels can also be used as a starting point for creating Custom Permission Sets.

 

Display permissions by object - allows an administrator to view permissions either by a specific object or for all objects at the same time.

 

Folder  Permissions - the permissions that can be set for the Folder Object

Folder Visible - if checked Folder will be visible to that user or group. Leaving the box unchecked will make the Folder and its contents invisible to those users.

Create Folder/Folder Structure - if checked allows a user or group to create new Sub-Folders in the Folders.

Delete Folders - if checked allows a user or group to delete a Folder.

Modify Folder Properties - if checked allows a user to modify folder properties including Default Index Set.

Export Document List View - if checked allows the user to Export Display to a xls, html, xml, or csv

Print Document List View - if checked allows the user to select Print Display

Add Document - if checked allows a user or group to add documents to a Folder.

Rename Folder - if checked allows a user or group to rename a Folder.

Copy folder - if checked allows a user or group to copy Folders.

Move Folder - if checked allows a user or group to move Folders.

Modify Permissions  - Allows specified users or groups to modify security permission properties

 

Inherit permissions from parent - if checked the object inherits permissions from its parent. To change permissions for an object uncheck this box.

Replace permissions on all child objects - if checked DocuXplorer will overwrite permissions on all objects below the parent object.

 

Tip:

When Users/Groups are added or a change is made to permissions they do not take effect until the Library or specific Cabinet is closed and reopened at a workstation. When changes are made we recommend that administrators instruct all users to close DocuXplorer on their desktops and reopen.
