Additional access control entries

Under Content Server 5.3 and later, when Trusted Content Services is enabled in a repository, additional access control entries are available. The access control entries described in the table are independent of each other, not hierarchical.

Table 22.3. Additional access control entries

Access control entryEffect of the entry

Access Restriction

An access restriction entry denies a user the right to the base object-level permission level specified in the entry. For example, if a user would otherwise have delete permission as a member of a particular group, an access restriction might limit the user to, at most, version permission. The user would therefore lose write and delete permission.

Extended Restriction

An extended restriction entry denies a user or the members of a specified group the specified extended object-level permission. For example, if a user would otherwise have Change Permission rights as a member of a particular group, an extended restriction would remove that right.

Required Group

A required group entry requires a user requesting access to an object governed by the permission set to be a member of the group identified in the entry. If there are entries for multiple groups, the user must be a member of all of the groups before Content Server allows access to the object.

Required Group Sets

A required group set entry requires a user requesting access to an object governed by the permission set to be a member of at least one group in the set of groups.
