3.7.3 Rights Wizard

The Rights Wizard allows you to set permissions for individual objects without having to remember the syntax of the Rights attribute or the valid user and group names (see Figure 24).

Using the Rights Wizard, you can set read, write or unlink rights for different user and groups.

RIGHTS WIZARD

The Rights Wizard is used as follows:

  1. Search for the desired users or groups as follows:

    Activate the Users and/or Groups checkboxes, depending on which type you want to search for.

    Click on the letter tab corresponding to the first letter of the user or group name(s) you are searching for, and click on the Search button. All user names corresponding to the letter you picked will appear in the column on the left of the dialog box. To list all available users and groups, click on the All button.

  2. Select the user (or group) for which you want to set rights, and click on the right arrow button. The user or group name will be moved to the viewing window on the right.
  3. Select the name(s) in the right column for which you want to set rights. Use your Ctrl key to select multiple user/group names that do not appear one after another. Use your Shift key to select a sequential group of user/group names. Selected names will show outlined with a blue shadow. Activate the appropriate checkboxes (W= write, U= unlink, R= read) according to the type of rights you want to grant to the selected users and groups.

    The corresponding letters will appear next to the names in the column listing.

  4. To delete an entry from the right column, select the entry and click on the left arrow button.
  5. When you have set all the rights to your satisfaction, click on the OK button. The syntax of the Rights you have assigned appear in the attribute value text box in the Add Attribute dialog box.
