Working With the Archives
This section discusses accessing and administering archive projects.
Access the Archive Security page (PeopleTools, Archive Data, Archive Security).
Warning! This page is associated with the deprecated Archive Data tool and should not be used to create or administer data archives. Use the Data Archive Manager (PeopleTools, Data Archive Manager) to create and administer data archives.
This page enables you to grant access rights to the permission lists that use PeopleSoft Archive Data Tool.
