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.
