Removing Users from User Groups
You can remove any user except Administrator from any user group except the Everyone group.
Removing a user does not delete the user from other groups.
To remove a user from a user group:
1. Select the user in the group from which you want it removed.
2. Do one of the following:
t Press the Delete key.
t Click the Remove User button.
Managing Database Roles
You set and manage global roles for users in the User Management view (see “Managing Users,
User Groups, and User Rights” on page 123
). You have the option of limiting or granting rights
for specific users on specific folders. Use the Manage Database Roles view to manage rights on
specific folders.
For example, you might have editors and graphic artists that are working on different projects. To
avoid confusion, you might want to prevent editors on one project from having write and delete
rights on projects that they are not working on. For information about the five standard roles, see
“Understanding Standard Roles and Default Rights” on page 128.
There are two different ways to assign roles to folders:
• General role assignments (see
“Viewing General Role Assignments” on page 133 and
“Setting or Changing a General Role Assignment” on page 137)
• Special access folders (see
“Managing Special Access Folders” on page 140)
For more examples of setting up rights on folders, see “Setting Up a Folder Structure and a User
Database” in the Interplay Best Practices Guide.
Viewing General Role Assignments
To view assigned roles for users of the database or a folder:
1. In the User Management section of the Interplay Administrator window, click the Manage
Database Roles icon.
The Manage Database Roles view opens.
