  4. Select the check box(es) next to the desired project(s):
    1. Select Create Link to associate the object with the project.
    2. Select Secured by to secure the object by the project.
    3. Note: You cannot secure an object without associating it with the project. Therefore, when you select Secured by, the Create Link check box is automatically selected.

  5. Select the Propagate check box to associate the children of the selected objects with the project as well.
  6. Note: When a new revision life cycle operation is performed on an object associated with a project, and the new object is given the same security as the existing object.

    Note: All your Common File Objects must behave identically, Therefore, if you associate a CFO with a project, you must associate all the other CFOs with this project.

    Note: The first "Secured by Project" operation can be done by any user that has a role in the target Project.

    If an object is already secured by a project, removing or adding projects by which the object is secured, can be done only by a user who has "Share secured by" permission. This permission can be assigned by the System Administrator using the User Maintenance Utility.
