Add users and groups to a single object

Securable objects like documents and folders get their initial security from the Default Instance Security ACL of their class and possibly also from the class' default security policy, if there is one. Authorized users can add to or change this initial security. Directly changing a single object's security means that only that one object will receive the changes. If the object is a document, these direct changes to a single version will continue to appear on later versions of the same document.

To add new users and groups to a single object

  1. Ensure that the user or group already exists in the authentication Realm that was configured while installing and configuring the FileNet P8 domain.
  2. Use the Enterprise Manager to open the property sheet of the object and go to the Security tab. Use the Add button and add the users or groups in the Select Users or Groups dialog box. Click OK to close the dialog box.
  3. Use the security editor to examine and if necessary change the default permissions of the new grantees.
  4. Click OK when you are done.
