Using the Access Control List

Use an access control list (ACL) to apply individual and group permissions to files and folders from within Environment Manager Policy. You can apply an ACL:

• To existing files and folders

• When using the Create Folder Action

• When using the Create Text File Action

Set an ACL for an Existing File or Folder

1. In Environment Manager Policy, select the Actions ribbon.
2. Select File & Folder > Access Control List.
3. In the Access Control List dialog, select the Access Control List tab:
   1. Object name: Use the folder icon to navigate to the folder or file to which you want to apply the ACL.
   2. Group or user names: Click Add to add groups or users to the ACL. To remove a group or user, select it in the list and click Remove.
   3. Permissions for Authenticated Users: Use the check boxes under the Allow and Deny columns to establish permissions for users you have added to the ACL.

      Special permissions are not supported unless they are a part of general permissions such as Modify or Full Control.

4. Click OK to save your changes.

If you apply an ACL to an object with special permissions, the ACL overwrites those permissions.

Set an ACL Using the Create Folder and Create Text File Actions

Use these steps when applying an ACL as part of the Create Folder Action or of the Create Text File Action.

1. When creating the Create Folder Action or Create Text File Action, select the Access Control List tab.

2. In the Access Control List dialog, select the Access Control List tab:

   1. Group or user names: Click Add to add groups or users to the ACL. To remove a group or user, select it in the list and click Remove.
   2. Permissions: Use the check boxes under the Allow and Deny columns to establish permissions for users you have added to the ACL.

   The ACL applies to all folders specified in the Create Folder Action.

3. Click OK to save your changes.
