File Structure and Access to Documents

One of the ways that security is built into FileHold's document management system is through the use of user and group membership to the different parts of the file structure hierarchy (The Library).

Except for the library, a user must be a member of a Cabinet to even see it displayed in their view of the document management system's file structure.

Permissions are usually inherited by the other objects (drawers, folders and documents) that they contain, although each object may be customized.

Note: Permissions may be restricted at a lower level or taken entirely away.

Security Rules

• All users may see the Library.

• All users that are given access to a Cabinet will see all of the Drawers inside that Cabinet.

• However, the user may not have access to all of the Folders inside of a Drawer as permissions may again be restricted at the Folder level.

• Permissions to Documents are restricted by the Document Schema to which the document is assigned.

• Access to the LIbrary Archives follows the same logic as the main Library.
