Access Control - Adding permissions in LiveCycle Workbench

Issue

How to restrict permissions to folders in the Resource tab in LiveCycle Workbench.

Solution

This is done by creating users/groups in LC Admin and setting access permissions on the repository folders.

FOLLOW THESE STEPS:

LC Admin

Create a New Group in LC Admin - ResourcesUsers.

Create a New Group in LC Admin - Group A | Assign the SERVICE USER role | Add User 1 to this group.

Create a New Group in LC Admin - Group B | Assign the SERVICE USER role | Add User 2 to this group.

LC Workbench

Right click on LOCALHOST and select Access Control, add the ResourcesUser group and grant only TRAVERSE permissions.

Select folder X | open the Access Control, add Group A and grant READ, TRAVERSE and WRITE permissions.

Select folder Y | open the Access Control, add Group B and grant READ, TRAVERSE and WRITE permissions.

RESULT:

User 1 will have access to folder X and no access to the resources in other folders

User 2 will have access to folder Y and no access to the resources in other folders

Additional Information

PERMISSIONS:

Delegate: User can assign permissions to the folder to other users.

Read: User can open the resources in the folder. To view resources, Traverse is also required.

Traverse: User can view the folder's contents and can navigate through the folder to lower-level folders. To open resources, Read is also required. This permission is used when a user needs Read or Write permissions in a lower-level folder but not necessarily to the resources in intermediary folders.

Write: User can modify and save the resources in the folder.
