    Global Security Group

    Offline Phillip Hess over 11 years ago

    I have existing security setup through PW Explorer but I want to apply an additional group at a global level that has Read Rights without having to visit every folder in PW. I can't use the Everyone Group because it's security is set differently in different folders. What has happened is our Management team has decided they want to have Read Rights to everything in PW. How do I set a global security group without messing everything else up. I tried it at the data source level and no one except the management group could see anything.

      Take a look through the new ( as of SS3) Access Control tab and its Export permissions, Import permissions capability.  I'm still testing it - but it appears to have some possibilities.  It definitely permits you to modify existing permissions and I'm trying to see if it will let me add groups to a folder.  Bentley Staff  - - -  any .... thoughts???

      The import/export security can help, but I recommend breaking it down into sections and not trying to apply a ton of security all at once.

      Another option, although it is really ugly IMO, if they don't need read/write on anything: for the users involved turn off "Use Access Control" then remove their document user settings to do anything but read files.  If they still need change on certain files this won't work.
