Access policy help needed

dave_kane

I was hoping another admin could assist me with this. I am trying to configure workspaces in Collaboration that i can alter the access rights to on a per workspace basis. I currently have a policy set up with 4 access groups- Facilitators- which are Publishers (full rights), Internal team- Editor (can edit documents but should not be able to add other users), external- Contributor(can add documents but not edit), and All Users- Reader (can read, but nothing else)... What i want to be able to do is add individual users to the Publisher group and have those users inherit the right to add other users and edit the other groups. Is there a policy i can set up to allow for this to occur? I want to limit there ability to do this to only the individual workspace, so that a Publisher in one workspace, does not neccesarily have those rights in another workspace.

 

Please let me know any ideas you may have on this setup.

thank you

hi Kane,

 

As far as I understand, probably you should create a new access policy and apply it to publisher group.  Here are the steps:

 

1. So, say for your workspace, access policy is some AP1.

2 . create a new access policy say ACCESS_POLICY_ADMINISTRATORS (which would govern who can edit the publisher group).

3 . After this step is done, add the users to the publishers of this ACCESS_POLICY_ADMINISTRATORS.

4. Click on AP1 access policy, navigate to the publishers group on that access policy. (Hope publishers group is available on AP1, if not better to add one).

5. Apply ACCESS_POLICY_ADMINISTRATORS as access policy on this publisher group.

 

Now, users added in Step 3 must be able to add users and groups to publishers group.

 

Please let me know if I missed anything.

 

Regards,

Sree Ramya.
