4.7.3 Adding access rights holders

As the owner of an object, you may want to assign access control values in a more customized way than the three default roles in BSCW permit. This may be desirable, for example, when

• some members of a Workspace who are acting as administrators should be assigned some, though not all, owner rights while the other members are not allowed to invite new members or to rename, cut or delete objects;
• a team of editors should be allowed to modify a Document while all other members of the Workspace are only allowed to read it;

For such a customized arrangement, you may select users and BSCW groups (see section 4.5.3) from your Address Book and add them as individual access rights holders to the Access control table:

• Click the    icon to the left of the object's type icon

to display the object's Info page.

• Click    on the top button bar in the Info page

to bring up the 'Access control table for object name' form.

• Below the table, click

  to display an extended form.

This extended form includes a section Add users or groups to access control table (row) that lets you choose user names and the names of BSCW groups from your Address Book:

• Select the names of users and BSCW groups to be added to the Access control table.
• Click

If the selected users or groups are members of the Workspace to which the object belongs, they are added to the Access control table in separate rows below 'Members of <object name>'. Non-members are added in rows below 'All users except ...'.

Note:

If a row in the Access control table is no longer needed, you may remove it:

• Set all access control values in the row to 'derived'

to revoke any access control values individually assigned.

• Click

  The updated table will no longer contain the row with default access control values. /P>

• Click

  to revoke all access control values individually assigned and to redisplay the Access control table in its basic layout.
