Defining Permissions 

Use

There are the following kinds of permissions:

●      Access permissions allow users to display, change, or delete items. You can define these permissions for both folders and documents or other items.

●      Service permissions allow users to use certain functions, for example, to subscribe to folders. You can define these permissions only for folders.

You define permissions in access control lists (ACLs). An entry in an access control list grants a specific access permission, for example, read permission, to a user, group, or role.

There are two separate access control lists for permissions and service permissions.

Inheritance

The system passes on permissions in folder structures from top to bottom. When you create a new item in a folder, it automatically inherits the permissions of the superordinate folder.   

Procedure

...

       1.      Define the access permissions.

See: Defining Access Permissions  

Your administrator can set up the system in such a way that you must define the access permissions in the NTFS file system. In this case, you can only display the permissions in the portal.

       2.      Define the service permissions for folders.

See: Defining Service Permissions
