Security Global Settings

Grant users access to a vault and assign permissions on the Security tab of the Global Settings dialog.

You can also create groups of users as well as assign access privileges and roles to the groups. The roles assigned to a user or group define the permissions of the user or members of the group.

Access the Security Tab on the Global Settings Dialog

1. Launch the Autodesk Data Management Server Console.
2. Select Tools  Administration  Global Settings.
3. In the Global Settings dialog box, select the Security tab.

Users

User accounts are created and administered in the User Management dialog box.

A vault server user account can be created automatically when a Windows user that is a member of an Active Directory group with access to the vault server logs into an Autodesk data management client using Windows authentication. This option is on by default.

Note: The server upon which the Autodesk Vault server is installed must support Windows Authentication.

Note: Windows Authentication is available in the Autodesk Vault Professional.

Groups

Groups are created and administered in the Groups dialog box.

Roles and Permissions

You can view the roles and the permissions assigned to those roles in the Roles dialog box.
