Setting Security Policy on Folders
Roles provide a flexible and secure way to control user access to documents in the workspace. The following table shows each role and the specific set of permissions it identifies.
Role | Permissions |
---|---|
Reader | May read published documents |
Author | In addition to Reader permissions, may add and update documents |
Approver | In addition to Author permissions, may approve or reject documents |
Coordinator | In addition to Approver permissions, may perform management tasks |
Each user can have multiple roles in the workspace. Use properties on the KnowledgeFolder object to set specific roles for users.
Note
Applications running on Clients with a Microsoft Windows 2000 operating system can use the Approvers, Authors, Coordinators, and Readers properties of the KnowledgeFolder object. Applications running on clients with a Microsoft Windows 98 or Microsoft Windows NT® 4.0 operating system cannot use the Approvers, Authors, Coordinators, and Readers properties.
