Override Security Based on State

Configure state-based security overrides on the Lifecycle Definitions dialog.

To apply state-based security, a state change needs to occur at the folder level. Follow these steps:

1. Select a folder.
2. If the folder is not already assigned to a category, choose the Change Category command and assign a category.
3. By assigning a category, a default state is assigned to the folder.
4. Select the folder and choose the Change State command.
5. Choose a state that has security configured on it. For example, the released state has an ACL defined for it out-of-the-box.
6. Right-click on the folder and select Details.
7. Select the Security tab.

   If the lifecycle definition security is set to Override Object-based security, the ACL displayed is the override ACL that was applied by the lifecycle state.

Note: For more information on how to configure the security of a lifecycle state, see Edit Lifecycle State Security.
