Add users and groups to a class
Classes that are instantiable, like the document class, have two security
tabs:
- The Default Instance Security tab contains the ACL that will
be applied to new instances of the class. (For example, a document
is an instance of a particular document class.) New users and groups
who will be users of the objects based on a class should be added
to the Default Instance Security tab of the class: they will
need the Create Instance permission that is contained on the Security
tab.
- The Security tab governs the security of the class itself (who
can subclass it, delete it, change its properties, etc.). New users
and groups who will be administrators of the class should be
added to the Security tab of the class.
To add new users/groups to the Default Instance Security ACL of a
class
- Use Enterprise Manager to open the property sheet of the class
and go to the Default Instance Security tab. Use the Add
button and use the Select
Users or Groups dialog box. Click OK
to close the dialog box.
- Use the security
editor to examine and if necessary change the default permissions
of the new grantees.
NOTE
The default security level of a new user or group is View Properties.
Full administrative control is conferred by having the Full Control
level. Make sure you should grant the new user or group the permissions
they will need.
- Click OK when you are done. New
instances of the class will include the newly added grantee with the
default access permissions you selected.
NOTE Modifying
a class does not affect existing objects that are instances of that class.
For example, adding users to the Default Instance Security ACL of a document
class does not add those new users to existing documents based on that
class.
