Use

Permissions determine who is allowed to use an index for searching and who is allowed to maintain an index.

Features

Permission

Description

Read

Allows you to search an index.

When end users carry out a search, the system searches only those indexes for which they have read permission. Moreover, the search options display only those indexes for which the end user in question has read permission.

Caution

If you do not set up permissions for an index, all users are able to search it.

If you have access to the Index Administration iView, you can display the index (properties and data sources).

  • Change properties

  • Change data sources and assign new data sources

Delete
