Update Access Controls on Records

UPDATE ACCESS CONTROL ON A FOLDER OR DOCUMENT

Certain folders and documents in Content Manager may need customized security and access control settings. The Record Coordinator in each division is responsible for making any access control updates to the division’s Active records. Typically, access control for folders and documents will default to the department or division.

1.       Locate and select the Record that needs to have its access control settings updated.

2.       You can Modify the Security and Access Controls:

a.       Right-Click and select Security and Audit, and then Security/Access.

b.       In the lower view pane select the pencil next to the Access Control metadata field.

3.       When the Security and Access Policy dialog box appears, go to the Access Controls section in the lower portion of the dialog box.

4.       Tag the Access Controls you want to update. You can select all lines, or just certain line items.

5.       There are different options to change the security an access controls:

a.       Clear – Opens all access controls listed and makes them unrestricted to everyone.

b.       Container – The record’s security and access controls will inherit from the container it’s contained within.

c.       Custom – Allows you to change the access controls to include yourself, your unit or another department/division.

                                                                       I.            To add yourself: Select the Add (the second option with an arrow pointing down) and select Me.

                                                                     II.            To add your department/division: Select the Add (the second option with an arrow pointing down) and select My Unit.

                                                                    III.            To add another Department/Division: Select Add (the first option) and begin typing the department/divisions name (example: Clerks, Accounting, Purchasing, etc.)

d.      


For example, if you want to open the folder and/or documents so that people in all divisions can view them, but you want only your Division to be able to update the folder/documents, then “tag” View Document and View Metadata and then click “Clear”. In this scenario, you will want all other line items to reflect the Division name.
