Both IS and CS provide security to protect your important information. Typically, the system administrator defines users and groups, assigns passwords, and determines the default security settings for the system.
Every item has it's own security that specifies the access rights of the users and groups who can access the item. These access rights determine who can see the item, modify it, delete it, and so on. FileNet Web Services verifies your access rights each time you view, add, modify, or delete an item.
A CS library system defines five levels of access rights—None, Viewer, Author, Owner, and Admin. Each level of access rights incorporates the rights of the lower access levels. Author includes Viewer; Owner includes Author; etc.
An IS library system uses three access rights—Read, Write, and Append/Execute. Each and every document, folder, and annotation has these three access rights. Only one user or one group can be assigned to each access right for an item.
