Managing permissions

To help you manage security, Security Explorer® is organized into modules, which organize the permissions that are available to manage. First, click the module button that matches the permissions you want to manage. For ease of use, each module functions similarly, although menu choices and buttons may vary from module to module.

Topics:

Viewing permissions

2
Open the Browse tab.
Open the Tasks tab, and click View Permissions.
NOTE: The Tasks tab is hidden by default. To display the Tasks tab, select View | Tasks tab.
3
Select an item in the Navigation pane. The location displays in the Path box. The Objects pane displays objects along with the extended information. Depending on how far you drill down in the navigation tree, you may need to select an object in the Objects pane to view permissions.
NOTE: SharePoint Security module only. To add a URL to the Favorites list, type the URL in the Path box, and click Go.

Granting permissions

You can grant permissions to users and groups without affecting any other user's permissions. First, choose the permissions to grant, and select a user or group. You can grant different permissions for several users and groups with one operation. In the NTFS Security module, you can create a schedule to temporarily grant a permission.

The type of permission granted depends on the selected module. For example, if you want to grant permissions for a printer, open the Printer Security module.

There are two methods for granting permissions:

If you select Special, a Permission tab specific to the module opens. You also can open the tab by clicking Advanced Permission Selection.
