Synchronisation over-writing group access - confused newby

Hi We have inherited a system from our parent company and struggling to fit the permissions groups to our new environment. Currently we have one Active Directory group which is synchronising into the default livelink group with login and public access. A second group of users should not have public access.. I tried changing their default department access to a "new" group with access restircted to a specific folder .. and disabling public access for each of the individuals ... problem is each night the accounts are reset to the default group with the public access Question .. how do I automatically create a one group with public access and another group without public access .. do I need two active directroy groups .. or can I have a sub group / department (really dumb question.. how can I find out what areas within the taxonomy ..are accessible via public access)

it sounds to me like you are running into problems with your department mappings. I would recommend opening a ticket with support on this. Configuring department mapping is often something that can be quite complicated, too much so to cover well here.

Hi
We have inherited a system from our parent company and struggling to fit the permissions groups to our new environment. Currently we have one Active Directory group which is synchronising into the default livelink group with login and public access.

A second group of users should not have public access..

I tried changing their default department access to a "new" group with access restircted to a specific folder .. and disabling public access for each of the individuals ... problem is each night the accounts are reset to the default group with the public access

Question .. how do I automatically create a one group with public access and another group without public access .. do I need two active directroy groups .. or can I have a sub group / department

(really dumb question.. how can I find out what areas within the taxonomy ..are accessible via public access)
