Archive security is specific to that Archive. Before any users or groups (including database administrators) can be granted permissions to the Archive, they first must be granted access to the Archive's database.

 

Set Archive Security

  1. To set Archive permissions, from the Secured Users & Groups list, click to select one or more users and/or groups.

  2. In the Security Components panel, click Archives.

  3. Click on the Database () icon for one or more databases to display the Archives that are available for that database.

  4. To see if an Archive has any Sub-archives, click on its Archive () icon. If the Archive has any Sub-archives, the component tree expands to display its child Archives and the icon changes to the image of an open folder.

  5. To assign security permissions for an Archive, click on its Archive. Parent and child Archives can be selected individually and more than one Archive can be selected.

  6. In the Archive Permissions panel, click one of the tabs and then select the appropriate permissions individually or click Select All. The choices include Folder, Document, and Export. See the next three sections below for details. Note that Select All selects all permissions on all three, not just on the one currently selected. )\ Click Click the Help (?) icon for details on Archive permissions choices.

  7. Click Apply Security to save the setup for each user or group.

In this dialog box “Folder” refers to an Archive. You can secure documents in an Archive at different levels:

  • ViewThe If this is the only permission granted, the user or group may view but not change data and documents. They may see the selected Archive in the Archives Pane, even if Show All Archives is disabled, so long as they have View rights to all Archives in the hierarchical branch. If this is the only permission, users do not yet have enough permissions to see documents in the Archive, as they need to be able to run a Search to see documents and they don’t yet have access to any Searches. Since a user or group must be able to see documents, View will be enabled when any other Archives permissions are enabled.

  • Add – The user or group may put documents into the Archive, but, if this is the only choice selected, once added no changes may be made. Adding includes not just by capturing (like scan, import, import data and document, or drag-and-drop) but also with Burst, Merge, and Move.

  • Delete – The user or group may remove documents from the Archive.

  • Move – The user or group may move documents from one Archive to another. This grants permission to move documents to Inboxes in the GlobalSearch desktop client as well. As Inboxes do not have Index Fields, keep in mind that moving documents from Archives to Inboxes will permanently delete their indexing data.

  • View Revisions The user or group may view all the versions of a revision-controlled document. Users without this option will only be able to see the final version of the document. On a Versions Archive, the user or group may see previous versions of the document returned by the Search.

  • View History – The user or group may view the Audit Log of documents.

  • Delete Errored Batches – A legacy setting which allows the user or group to remove any Batches that have errored from the Batch Manager Batch List.

  • Full API Access – This API-only security setting allows the user or group to bypass Search security, via the API, on the current Archive. It is intended for use with GlobalAction and custom programs. Since the API respects Search Security, you can use this setting to avoid having to grant access for each individual Search to the account running GlobalAction or a custom program. Use Full API Access to grant that account full access, so they will have access to all current and future Searches residing in the Archive.

...

  • Modify Document – The user or group may rotate, copy/paste, insert, append, and reorder pages of documents.

  • Modify Pages – The user or group may enhance, cut (but not paste), replace, and delete pages of documents.

  • Modify Data – The user or group may modify indexing data for a document in any Field, so long as it it not a System Field or Read Only Field.

  • Modify Annotations The user or group may create, modify, and delete annotations on documents, even without other document edit permissions.

  • Publish Revisions – For use with a Check In/Check Out Archive in the desktop client, the user or group may set the Publish and Unpublish status for documents.
