Manage Database Security

Before users or groups can access GlobalSearch, they must first be granted access to a database. Before they can be granted permissions to an Archive, they must first be granted access to the database where the Archive is located. Each database within GlobalSearch has its own set of user and group permissions.

1. To set database permissions, from the list in the Users & Groups panel, select one or more users and/or groups.
   
   
2. In the Security Components panel, click Databases.
   
   
3. Select one or more databases from the list.
   
   
4. In the Database Permissions panel, enable Database Access to allow user-level access to the selected database.
   
   
5. Optionally, enable one or more other permissions:
   
   
   1. Select Database Admin to allow administrator-level access to a specific database.
      
      
   2. Select Allow Delegation to allow an individual user the ability to delegate his or her own GlobalAction Workflow email notifications.
      
      

   3. In the Manager text box, enter the username of the Delegation Manager who will be required to choose where the user’s GlobalAction emails will be forwarded to if the user enables delegation.
      If the Delegation Manager does not select a user to delegate the email to, then Allow Delegation will not work. Make sure that Windows^® Active Directory or Square 9 User users have  email addresses associated with usernames assigned delegation permissions. Refer to the Manage Users and Groups page for details. Refer to the GlobalAction documentation for details about the Allow Delegation and Manager settings.
      
      

6. To quickly enable all database permissions, click Select All.
   
   
7. To disable all database permissions, click Select None.
   
   
8. From the License Type list, choose the type of license that the user or group will be granted. The License Type drop-down list displays all possible license types, even if no seats are available for that type. Be certain that type of Square 9 license selected is actually available before assigning it. Select from the following choices:
   
   
   • Full License – Grants access to the database via the desktop client or the web client, and the ability to perform any action to which they have permission.
     
     
   • Web-Only Full License – Grants access to the database only through the browser-based GlobalSearch web client and can perform any action to which the user has permission.
     
     
   • Web-Only Read Only License – The user or group can only view the documents returned by Searches to which they have access in the databases which they have access. Access is only through the web client and the user or group cannot add or modify documents, even if they have been given permissions. Of the Export (output) permissions they might have, they may email or print.
     
     
9. Click Apply Security to save the setup for each single user or group.
   To avoid permissions conflicts, remember to click Apply Security before attempting to set permissions for other users or groups.
