Accessing Library Access Lists
Sharing your private Library Access Lists allows you
to permit groups and users to see its content and use it in schedules
while you retain ownership. Authorized users can share their private
Library Access Lists with groups and users with whom they are permitted
to share. The Library Access List can be accessed by users authorized
to access the folder in which the shared Library Access Lists are
located.
Authorized users can publish and unpublish Library Access Lists
to make them available to users authorized to access the folder
in which they are located. Publishing requires the folder the item
is located in to be published in order to publish an item within the
folder. If the folder is subsequently unpublished, all items in
that folder are unpublished. See the WebFOCUS Security and
Administration manual for additional information on Publishing
folders and items.
