Special Access Dialog - Class Permissions

The Special Access dialog for class permissions lets you specify a different combination of rights other than the predefined access types. Not all combinations are applicable in all cases. For example, granting Write permissions does not have a meaning without View permissions.

The check boxes in this dialog appear as selected, based on the existing permissions for the selected object class. You can also select multiple object classes, and then click Special Access, in which case, the check boxes can have the following states:

Checked

Indicates that permissions are defined for all selected object classes.

Unchecked

Indicates that permissions are not defined for any of the selected object classes.

Grayed Out

Indicates that permissions are defined for at least one of the selected object classes, but not for all.

This dialog contains the following check boxes:

Create (C)

Allows creation of folders or objects.

View (V)

Allows the presentation of folders or objects in the DSM Explorer and viewing the properties of the folders or objects.

Read (R)

Allows viewing the contents of a folder or object. You can expand the folder or object to view its contents.

Write (W)

Allows changing the folder or object properties, link and unlink items, or change the object sub item properties.

Execute (X)

Allows 'execution' on the folder (for example, install on computer group), or on the object (for example, install on computer).

Delete (D)

Allows deletion of a folder or object or any sub items.

Change Permissions (P)

Allows changing the folder's or object's permissions.

Take Ownership (O)

Allows taking ownership of the folder or the object.

Note: If your selection in the Special Access dialog corresponds to one of the predefined values (for example View and Read), you can see the predefined value set as the Class Access. Otherwise, you see Special Access (without dots) as the selected value. To access the original Special Access dialog again, select Special Access (with dots).
