If you configure secured repositories to sit on top of your versioned repositories, you can set item descriptor-level and, if necessary, item-level security as described in the Secured Repositories chapter in the ATG Repository Guide.
To configure the security of a secured, versioned repository, follow these steps:
Define the ACLs for the item descriptors as necessary by modifying the secured repository definition file for the underlying repository. This enables you to define access rights to all assets of a given type. For help with this step, see the Secured Repositories chapter in the ATG Repository Guide.
If necessary, also define the ACLs for the individual items.
As you define the ACLs for the item descriptors and items in your versioned repositories, make sure that you coordinate them with the ACLs that you define for the projects and workflows that might use the items.
Note: For information on the default security provided for the PublishingFileRepository, which is the VersionRepository provided with ATG Content Administration for storing file assets, see PublishingFileRepository Security.
