When you create a new user, you assign the user a default folder. Documentum Administrator allows you to select between assigning an existing folder as the user’s default or creating a new folder with the user’s name. If you have Documentum Administrator create the folders for new users and you want to control the permissions assigned to new users’ folders, use these instructions.
Create a new alias set called UserPropertiesConfiguration.
Assign ownership of the UserPropertiesConfiguration alias set to the repository owner.
This is the user whose account is used for database access (dm_dbo).
Create two aliases in UserPropertiesConfiguration.
DefaultFolderAcl
Point this alias to the permission set to be applied to the new folder created for new users.
DefaultFolderAclDomain
Point this to the user who owns the permission set you use for DefaultFolderAcl.
When the new folder is created during new user creation, Documentum Administrator applies the permission set you designate. If a new user is not present as an accessor in the permission set, the user is granted write permission on the folder. The permission set for the cabinet is then modified to a system-generated permission set, but it otherwise has the permissions from the permission set you created.
You can use Documentum Administrator to create a new default folder for an existing user whose default folder is not the user’s name, and permissions on the set are applied as described above if you have created the necessary alias set and aliases.
If the UserPropertiesConfiguration alias set does not exist and a superuser creates the new user, the new user owns the folder and has delete permission. If a sysadmin creates the new user, the user is not the owner of the default folder, but the user has change owner permission on the folder as well as write permission.
