Setting Security on an Object
By default, a new object inherits the security of the parent
folder, but you can override the inherited security.
Note: You cannot override the inherited security for users;
user security is always the same as the folder in which the user is
stored. If you do not want a user to be returned in some users' searches,
make sure those users are not allowed access to the folder in which
the user is stored.
- Open the object's editor by
creating a new object or editing an existing object.
- Click the Security page.
- Specify which users and groups can access this object and
what type of access they have:
- To allow additional users or groups access to this object,
click
Add Users/Groups.
To specify
the type of access a user or group has, in the drop-down list under
the Privilege column, select the access type.
For a description of the available privileges, see About Access Privileges.
Note: If a user is a member of more than
one group included in the list, or if they are included as an individual
user and as part of a group, that user gets the highest access available
to her for this object. For example, if a user is part of the Everyone
group (which has Read access) and the Administrators Group (which
has Admin access), that user gets the higher privilege to the community:
Admin.
To delete
a user or group, select the user or group and click 
.
To select or clear all of
the user and group check boxes, select or clear the check box to the
left of Users/Groups.
- To see what
users are included in a group, click the group name.
To change the column
used for sorting or to toggle the sort order between ascending and
descending, click the column name.
You see an icon (
or 
) to the
right of the column name by which the objects are sorted.
