Password-Protect Cabinets, Drawers, or Folders
Enterprise Organizer Pro uses the Windows filesystem as its back-end. Because of this, it seamlessly inherits file permissions from Windows. To secure a cabinet, drawer, folder or file, use either Windows’ "Share" or "NTFS" security settings.
For example, suppose that you want to control who has access to a certain drawer in Enterprise Organizer Pro. First there must be a file server which users log onto. Also, you must have the right to change security settings on the server. Log onto the server and then do the following:
Click on the drawer (or folder which represents the drawer) with the RIGHT mouse button
Select "Sharing and Security"
Select the "Sharing" tab if you are changing share permissions, or the "Security" tab if you are changing NTFS permissions
Use the normal procedures for assigning specific permissions to users and user groups
In Enterprise Organizer Pro, users’ ability to access the drawer will now depend on the permissions that you assigned them.
NOTE: Security works in a similar way on other server operating systems, such as Novell or Linux, though the steps will be different. The general principle is that a server administrator must assign appropriate user permissions for any folder or file that requires limited access.
