Public Access Help needed

[Piesang]

Hello,

What does the Public Access option in the permission area do??

How does setting it affect access to those folders for Livelink users?

Thansk,

anybody who has a valid login inside livelink means Public akin to Others in Unix(Click Help for this page button).If you have access to the livelink database check any object for these on DTREE

UPERMISSIONS //STANDS FOR USER's perms
GPERMISSIONS //Base Group of the user has this
WPERMISSIONS //World or Public has this
SPERMISSIONS //Will not show up in GUI stands for System Perms

Practical uses H'mmmm

a)If you wanted to share your personal workspace to all the others give your credit card info, and SSN.
b)By default the attachments area in workflows is set to public.Anyways the attachments area in a workflow is only accesible thru the workflow context so does not have any security implications
c)if you wanted to make a document/folder area like a webserver(Use livelink as a glorified($$$) webserver) you can turn this on.Advantageous because when the request hits for this object the perm bits are obtained from dtree as against dtreeacl.

Always acknowledge a fault. This will throw those in authority off their guard and give you an opportunity to commit more.
