Specifying category rights

Follow this procedure to change the object rights for a new category that you have just created. By default, new objects that you add to a category inherit the object rights that are specified for the category. For complete information on object rights, see "Controlling users' access to objects" on page 312.

To specify rights for a new category

1. Once you've created the category, click its Rights tab.
2. Click Add/Remove to select the groups or users that you want to have explicit rights (as opposed to inherited rights) to access the category.

The Add/Remove page appears.

3. In the Select Operation list, select Add/Remove Groups, Add Users, or Remove Users.

The page is refreshed and displays options that depend upon whether you are working with users or with groups.

4. Select the user or group whose rights you want to specify and click the arrows to specify whether the user or group has explicit rights to the category.

Tip:    If you have many users on your system, select the Add Users operation; then use the "Look for" field to search for a particular account.

5. Click OK.

You are returned to the Rights tab.

6. For each added user or group, select the access level you want from the Access Level list.

Note:    For complete details on the predefined access levels and advanced rights, see "Controlling users' access to objects" on page 312.

7. Click Update.
