Hi,

I have a situation where members of a certain group are only allowed to have visible access to one Project folder. All other Project folders must be hidden from them (external sub-contractors).

It looks as though the only way this can be done is to manually go to all other Project Folders, check if the Everyone-else group supports visibility, if it does, then add the group and set access rights to None so that the folder is hidden. Very tedious as there are many Project folders to go through.

Just wondering if anyone has a better method for doing this? Could DXL do this for me - although I'm sure there's a heap of exceptions here that would have to be catered for in the script?

Hi Paul,

I would suggest to use groups to specify your access rights.
Therefore it may be usefull to define them in the following scheme:
one group "Read Only All", wich contains all normal database users and defines read access to all Projects on top level.
one group "dbAdministrators", wich conatians all administrative users and defines RMCDA access to all Projects on top level.
For each top level project define 3 groups:
Read -> R
Write -> RCMD
Admin -> RMCDA

Then you can specify, wich users may work in wich way in each top lavel project.
The attached script will create the defined access rights structure in database, but you need to place the Write and Admin users for each project manually.
