Webtop: Visibility of customised cabinets for administrator.

edited August 19, 2008 in Documentum #1

Hello all,

in our customised Webtop the administrator has browse permissions on each user's personal cabinet (a subtype of dm_cabinet).

My question arises from reasons of storage saving (and therefore performance improving) and concerns the visibility of such a cabinet

for the administrator:

Is it possible to hide an arbitrary user's cabinet for the administrator, but not for the user himself (and THIS is the most important)?

That is, not to use dm_sysobject's application attribute a_is_hidden (which hides the object for its owning user as well).

I tried already to achieve this goal by manipulating the corresponding object's acl and setting all permissions to 'none' and deleting

extended permissions in it. All in vain: The concerned cabinet remains visible for the administrator.

Asking our resident experts and researching in Documentum Administrator User Guide (chapter 5, area of subsection Setting the default permissions for the cabinet of a new user) did not help either.

Thank you for help. Greetings,

rreinhard

    Hi again,

    it's quite simple: Change the value for the the boolean attribute is_private to true. Per default it's set on false.

    Anyway, Thanks,
