Permissions in a TeamSite workarea

Ottawa_IWOV

Hi All -

I am looking to set up permissions on folders in a TeamSite workarea. Here is what my understanding is:

-Everyone needs to be part of the group for sharing in order to get any access to the workarea (if it is shared to a group at all)?

What we want to achieve, is the ability to have a lot of people access the workarea, but limit their access to certain folders in the workarea. For instance Sales would only get access to the Sales folder and below

(ie. templatedata/internet/press-release/data/Sales)

This would hold true with all folders at the same level as Sales, only shared with another group.

Can someone let me know if this is achievable>

Platform: Windows 2003 Server
Release: TeamSite 6.7.1 SP1

Thanks in advance!

You *may* be able to do this by having everyone in Group1 (which is the group shared for the workarea) and then have folder 2 set with write perms to Group2, folder 3 to Group3, etc. Use the submit.cfg to insure the permissions stay correct.

That being said, I prefer this approach:

use a Master branch (shared to group1) which holds all common content (images, css, js, etc, top nav, footer, etc) and sub branches for each desperate group. Use the proxy to allow me to view all content as if it was in 1 branch. Use a cross branch browser if you have templates and need to select an image from another branch.
