Add users and groups to a class

Classes that are instantiable, like the document class, have two security tabs:

To add new users/groups to the Default Instance Security ACL of a class

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
