Edit Security

To specify which users and groups can access the selected objects and what type of access they have, perform one or more of the following actions:

• To allow more users or groups access to the objects, click Add Users/Groups.

• To specify the type of access a user or group has, to the right of the user or group, select the proper access from the drop-down list under the name of the object. You can choose from the following types of access for each object:

• None allows no access to the objects.
• Read allows users or groups to see the objects.
• Select allows users or groups to add the objects to other objects. For example, it allows users to add portlets to their My Pages or to associate remote servers with Web services.
• Edit allows users or groups to modify the objects (with the exception of deleting or setting access to the objects).

• Admin allows users or groups full administrative control of the objects.

• To cancel your changes and reset the security to what it was, click Reset.

• To delete a user or group from the security of all selected objects, select the user or group and click .

• To see which users are included in a group, click the group name.

• To set identical access rights to an object for every user or group, repeatedly click in the Set Column area at the bottom of the desired column until the desired access level displays in the lists.

• To set identical access rights to every object for a user or group, repeatedly click in the Set Row area at the right of the desired user or group until the desired access level displays in the lists.

Notes:

• If a user is a member of more than one group included in the list or included as both an individual user and part of a group, that user gets the highest privilege available, based on those memberships. For example, if a user is part of the Everyone group (which has Read access) and the Administrators group (which has Admin access), that user has the higher privilege (Admin) to the object.

• You cannot change or delete access levels for the Administrators group or the Administrator user. The Administrators group and Administrator user:

• always has Admin access to every object.
• cannot be deleted.
