Security Configuration dialog box

EOM Console

Use the Security Configuration dialog box to define the type of access users and groups have to areas of the EOM Console, destinations, sources, and documents. How you open the dialog box, determines the type of permissions you are assigning.

• EOM Console permissions - From the EOM Console menu bar, select Tools | Configure Security. This will allow you to define the type of access users and groups have to areas of the EOM Console. For example, you can assign permissions so that certain users can access the Destinations, Sources, and Documents applications, but are restricted from the Administration application.

• Destination permissions - In the Destinations navigation pane, right-click the appropriate destination or group and select Security. This will allow you to define the type of access users and groups have to destinations and destination groups. For example, you can assign permissions on destinations so that certain users can configure the destination and other users can only print to it.

• Source permissions - In the Sources navigation pane, right-click the appropriate source or group and select Security. This will allow you to define the type of access users and groups have to sources and source groups. For example, you can assign permissions on sources so that certain users can configure the source and other users can only view it.

• Document folder permissions - In the Documents navigation pane, right-click the appropriate document folder and select Security. This will allow you to define the type of access users and groups have to documents within document folders. For example, you can assign permissions on document folders so that certain users can only view the list documents in a folder and other users can view each document.

• Report permissions - In the Reports navigation pane, right-click the appropriate report or folder and select Security. This will allow you to define the type of access users and groups have to reports and report folders. For example, you can assign permissions on reports so that certain users can edit the report and other users can only view it.

Inherit permissions from the parent (for destinations, sources, and document folders)

When a destination, source, or document folder is created, permissions are automatically assigned using inheritance. By default permissions are inherited from the parent group. You can assign additional permissions to inherited permissions. You just can't remove inherited permissions. It is good practice to assign rights using inheritance, as it allows administrators to easily assign and manage permissions.

Click the Browse button to choose if you want to inherit permissions from a different parent group or remove inheritance. By default, destinations, sources, and document folders are configured to inherit permissions.

Users and groups with permissions

Lists the users and groups who have permissions assigned to them for the EOM Console. The permissions for the selected item are displayed in the Assigned permissions list.

Add button

Adds a user or group to the dialog box so permissions can be assigned. You can add an EOM user, LDAP user, or Windows user or group. Until a user has been added, either individually or within a group, no rights will be assigned and the user will not be able to open the EOM Console. The User and Group Selection dialog box displays.

Remove button

Removes the selected user or group. Removing the user or group will remove all assigned permissions.

Assigned permissions

Lists the permissions that can be assigned to the selected user or group. The type of security being configured determines the permissions that display.
