Field labelValue

Required Groups

A required group entry requires a user requesting access to an object governed by the permission set to be a member of the group identified in the entry. If there are entries for multiple groups, the user must be a member of all of the groups before Content Server allows access to the object.

Click Add to access the Choose a group page to add groups to the permission set, of which a user must be a member for repositories where Trusted Content Services is enabled.

Select a group and click Remove to remove a required group.

Group

Displays groups of which a user must be a member for repositories where Trusted Content Services is enabled. If no groups are defined, the system displays the message No Required Groups exist for the permission set.

Required Group Set

A required group set entry requires a user requesting access to an object governed by the permission set to be a member of at least one group in the set of groups.

Click Add to access the Choose a group page to add groups to the permission set, of which a user must be a member of at least one for repositories where Trusted Content Services is enabled.

Select a group and click Remove to remove a group set.

Group

Displays groups of which a user must be a member of at least one for repositories where Trusted Content Services is enabled. If no groups are defined, the system displays the message No Required Groups exist for the permission set.

Grant access to

The Content Server automatically adds dm_owner and dm_world to a permission set. The default alias dm_owner represents the owner of the permission set and dm_world represents all repository users. You cannot delete dm_owner or dm_world from a permission set.

  • Click Add to add users or groups and their permissions for the permission set.

  • Select a user and click Edit to modify basic or extended permissions.

  • Select a user and click Remove to delete a user or group from the permission set.

  • Select a user and click Add to group to add them to access the Add to Group page.

Accessors

Displays users and groups who are included in the permission set.

Permissions

Displays the basic permission level access for the user or group. To change the basic permission level access, select a user and click Edit.

Extended Permissions

Displays the extended permissions for the user or group. To change the extended permissions, select a user and click Edit.

Conflict

If there are validation conflicts, the system displays reasons for the conflicts. For example:

  • Not a member of the following required group: Indicates which required groups that a user currently does not have any membership to.

  • Not a member of any required group set: Indicates that the user currently is not a member of any group in the required group set.

Deny access to

An access restriction entry denies a user the right to the base object-level permission level specified in the entry. For example, if a user would otherwise have Delete permission as a member of a particular group, an access restriction might limit the user to, at most, Version permission. The user would therefore lose Write and Delete permissions.

  • Click Add to add users or groups to restrict their permissions for the permission set.

  • Select a user and click Edit to modify basic or extended permission restrictions.

  • Select a user and click Remove to delete an access restriction entry.

  • Select a user and click Add to group to access the Add to Group page to add the user to a group or group set.

Accessors

Displays users and groups who have restricted permissions in the permission set.

Denied Access Level

Displays the restricted access level for the user or group. For example, if the user would otherwise have Delete permission as a member of a particular group and you set it to Version, the user loses Write and Delete permissions. To change the restricted basic permission level access, select a user and click Edit.

Extended Restrictions

Displays the extended restrictions for the user or group. To change the extended restrictions, select a user and click Edit.

Conflict

If there are validation conflicts, the system displays reasons for the conflicts.
