Events Security Administration : Setting object security for cabinets
  
Setting object security for cabinets
Manage Cabinets task tab
Use the Manage Cabinets task tab to set security access to specific cabinets for each of your 25Live security groups.
Note: The information presented here assumes you have already created cabinets as described in the 25Live Data Administration Guide, accessible by clicking Help, and now want to edit some or all of the cabinets to change their default object security.
Default object security for new cabinets is “Not Visible”
The default object security for new cabinets is set to “Not Visible” system-wide. To allow users in specific security groups to view and/or act on a specific cabinet, you must set the appropriate object security on the cabinet for those security groups.
Setting object security for one or more cabinets
1. Find the cabinet(s) you want to set object security access to by simple name search, by browsing your event structure, or by clicking “All Cabinets.”
2. Highlight the cabinet(s) and click Edit. To highlight multiple cabinets, hold down the Shift key and click each cabinet.
If you choose to edit multiple cabinets, be aware that all and only the changes you make will be applied to all the cabinets you select for edit. When in doubt, edit cabinets one at a time.
3. If you selected one cabinet for edit, you have the option of loading the object security settings of another cabinet to the cabinet you’re editing. To do so, choose a particular cabinet from the “Load Security Settings From:” drop-down list. This option is not available if you selected multiple cabinets for edit.
4. Set appropriate object security for the cabinet, its child folders, and/or its child events.
Note: Depending on your cabinet and folder structure, you may not have to use the Security for Child Events settings which are only relevant to cabinets that directly contain events (that is, cabinets that don’t have folders).
