Use

You use this report to find all objects that are connected to a specific principal (user, group, or role).

You can perform the following actions:

  • Unlock all items that were locked by a user.

  • Find all objects that have properties connected with a specific user.

  • Find all objects that have an ACL with entries for a specific principal or with a specific principal as the permission owner. You can transfer these entries to another principal.

Prerequisites

You have assigned the appropriate permissions to the cmadmin_service service user. If you want to transfer object properties such as Created By and Modified By from one specific user to another (for example, when a user has been deleted), you must have the Set System Properties permission assigned to the cmadmin_service service user.

To assign the required permission, choose Start of the navigation path Content Management Next navigation step Utilities Next navigation step System Principals Next navigation step System User End of the navigation path, and then open the cmadmin_service user for editing. Select the Set System Properties parameter, choose OK, and then restart the Application Server Java (AS Java).
