Group access to categories
A folder object control group is the most restrictive of the three types of category folder access: public, private, and group. Folder object control groups are defined in iBase Designer using the Security Manager but their usage is defined by the users who belong to the group, and the defined category settings.
The following options can be found in Tools > Options > General:
Prompt for category when saving
Default to 'Public' Access
How these settings affect the use of folder object control groups is summarized below:
Category prompt | Default access type | Result when you save a folder object |
|---|---|---|
ON | Private | You are prompted to select the access type. The default access type is the folder object control group to which you belong. If you belong to several groups, the access type defaults to private. |
ON | Public | You are prompted to select the access type for the folder object, the default access type is public. |
OFF | Private | The folder object is automatically saved in the folder object control group to which you belong. If you belong to several groups, you are prompted to select one or more groups, or to change the access type. |
OFF | Public | The folder object is automatically saved with public access. |
