Set Access Rights Using the Security Window

The Security window allows the author of a document, folder, or Quick Search to define other users as trustees that are allowed to access, edit, or delete the document. The author can also deny permissions to specific users.

It is important to note that Deny rights override Allow rights. This must be taken into account when assigning Deny rights to groups. For example, if an entire group is denied the ability to view documents, assigning a user who is a member of that group the right to view a document will not give that user the right to view the document.

The Security window is accessed by clicking the Edit Security button on the Document Profile or Quick Searches page.
