Configure Global Permissions

If some users require the same permissions across the entire repository regardless of their access as defined by the item level security, then they should be granted global permissions. Typically, this is only administrative users. By default, members of the Application Administrators group have full access to the repository.

To configure global permissions:

1. In Meridian Enterprise Server Administration Console, in the Repositories group, click Repositories.

   The All Repositories page appears and lists the existing Meridian Explorer repositories and Meridian Enterprise vaults.

2. Double-click the name of the repository that you want to configure.

3. In the menu, click Management Tools.

   The management tools for the selected repository appear.

4. In the Security group, for the Security item, click Manage.

   The Global permissions page appears. This page lists the groups that are currently assigned global permissions.

5. Choose between three options:

   • To assign global permissions to a new group:

     1. Click Add.

        The Add Groups dialog box appears and lists the existing groups.

     2. Select the groups that you want to add.

        Press and hold the CTRL key while clicking to select individual names. Press and hold the Shift key while selecting the first and last of a range of names.

     3. Click OK.

        The groups are added to the list of groups that are assigned global permissions.

     4. Select an added group and then select the permissions on the right side of the page that you want to assign to the selected group.

     5. Repeat step d for each group that you added.

   • To edit the current global permissions for a group:

     1. Select the group that you want to edit.

     2. Select or clear the permissions on the right side of the page accordingly.

   • To remove a group:

     1. Select the group that you want to remove.

     2. Click Remove.

        The group is removed.
