Permission List, List-Based Security
Three factors determine data access in permission list, list-based security:
-
Permission list—defining access to folders and content references in portal navigation.
-
List-based—defining access to individual projects selected from a list of projects, not from a tree.
-
Project security profile—defining the degree of project data access and the access type.
Users with access to a permission list can access projects that are attached to that permission list. Projects are selected from a list of existing projects instead of from a tree. All users with the same row security permission list have the same project access when you use permission list-level security. You can assign only one security profile to the permission list for each project. The degree of project data access and the access type are defined by the security profile for the combination of permission list and project. You can attach a project to more than one permission list.
When permission list, list-based security is defined, users:
-
Have access only to specific folders and content references that are defined by their permission lists.
-
Have access only to specific projects that are attached to their row security permission list.
-
Are limited to the amount of project data and type of access based on the assigned security profile for that permission list and project combination.
Viewing Security Data
If you use permission list, list-based security, the Security by Permission List page appears in the Project General component (PROJECT_GENERAL). This page shows all of the permission lists to which the project is attached, and provides the project manager or administrator with a view of all permission lists that have access to their projects.
Copying Security Definitions
Security definitions are copied when you create a new project by using the Project Copy utility. Access to the new project is restricted to the type of access allowed by the source project. Tree-based security rules are not copied.
