Restrict access to the root folder

When a user opens an object store using Workplace or Workplace XT, the user sees the contents of the object store's root folder. By default, the root folder's security grants Modify Properties access rights to the nonadministrative groups selected during installation. This means that unless you change the root folder's security, members of those groups can add folders at the top level of the folder tree. To specify who can add documents and folders at the top level:

  1. In Enterprise Manager, right-click the Root Folder, and then click Properties.
  2. Click the Security tab.
  3. Add the groups who are allowed to add top-level folders, and set the Modify Properties access right to Allow for those groups.
  4. Deny Modify Properties for those groups who are not allowed to add top-level folders.
