Examine file, folder, Item, and custom object security through the context menu.
Note: Items and custom objects are available in Vault Professional.
You must be an administrator to view object security.
- Right-click on a file, folder, item, or custom object in Vault and select Details.
- In the Details dialog box, select the Security tab.
- Select the Effective Access tab to view user permissions for the object.
Security Type
Select a security type to see a user's effective permissions for that security mode. This is primarily useful when both object-based security and state-based security are applied, and the administrator wants to finder a user's effective permissions.
Note: Only individual user permissions can be viewed. Groups cannot be added on the Effective Access tab.
Permissions
The permissions list on the Effective Access tab is empty by default. Add
and remove
members to the list to view the type of access they have to the object under the selected security type. Change the security type to see how permissions are impacted.
Note: The Effective Access tab is for viewing security permissions only. Adding and removing members does not change security permissions for the object. Permission changes must be performed on the Security tab.
