Configuring global permissions

If some users require the same permissions across the entire repository regardless of their access as defined by the item level security, then they should be granted global permissions. Typically, this is only administrative users. By default, members of the Application Administrators group have full access to the repository.

Warning    Remember, global permissions override all other security assignments. Therefore, they should be assigned sparingly.

Note    The Configure Repository permission can only be granted as a global permission. This permission is required to manage the repository configuration, including the repository security.

To configure global permissions:

1. In Meridian Enterprise Server Administration Console, in the BC Explorer group, click REPOSITORIES. The Repositories page appears and lists the existing Explorer repositories and Meridian Enterprise vaults.
2. Double-click the name of the repository that you want to configure. The Overview page for the repository appears.
3. In the menu, click MANAGEMENT TOOLS. The management tool s for the selected repository appear.
4. In the SECURITY group, for the Security item, click MANAGE. The Global permissions page appears. This page lists the groups that are currently assigned global permissions.
• To edit the current global permissions for a group:
  • Select the group that you want to edit and then select or clear the permissions on the right side of the page accordingly.
• To assign global permissions to a new group:

  2. Select the groups that you want to add. Press and hold the Ctrl key while clicking to select individual names. Press and hold the Shift key while selecting the first and last of a range of names.
  3. When you are done selecting, click OK. The groups are added to the list of groups that are assigned global permissions.
  4. Select an added group and then select the permissions on the right side of the page that you want to assign to the selected group.
  5. Repeat step d for each group that you added.
