Managing Workspace Access Privileges
You can set privileges for user and user group access to Workspaces in the Workspaces page. There are three levels
of access available to clients of the network, described in the following table.
By default, new client accounts do not have access privileges until an administrator assigns them (see
“Adding
Users” on page 93
). You can customize access for each client to every Workspace, if necessary.
For example, you might need to increase the access privileges for a user who does not have write access to the
appropriate Workspace, or for a Workspace that does not provide the appropriate access to one or more users. To do
so, you can either modify an individual client’s access privileges in the Users dialog box (see
“Modifying Users” on
page 94
), or you can use the Workspace dialog box (see “Setting Workspace Access Privileges” on page 81).
You also can assign users access privileges different from those originally assigned to the group. If a user group is
given a more permissive level of access than some members of the group, the group members then can have an
effective access different from their assigned access. This can be useful for projects that require users with a variety
of permissions to be able to write to certain Workspaces. You can also have users who have more permissive access
than a user group in which they are members. Using the Workspaces page, the administrator can assign the
necessary privileges.
Consider the following for access privileges:
• As access privileges are increased, the newly accessible Workspaces are immediately available.
• If a client has Read privileges to a Workspace and is granted Read/Write privileges, the new privileges apply
immediately, without modifying the Workspace.
• If a client is already at the Workspace selection stage when the access privileges are removed, then newly
inaccessible Workspaces remain in the display. However, attempting to access the Workspaces will be
unsuccessful.
• If a client has Read/Write privileges to a Workspace and access privileges are reduced to read, the new
privileges apply immediately, without modifying the Workspace. If a file is open for writing, the client retains
write privilege to that file until it is closed.
• If a client has privileges to a Workspace and those privileges are reduced to None, then the Workspace is
unavailable the next time the client attempts to access it.
