2.8 Enabling Users to Access Entries via the Workspace Tree When They Do Not Have Access to the Parent Folder or Workspace

You can enable users who have access to an entry, but do not have access to the parent workspace or folder, to navigate to the entry by using the Workspace tree, as described in Navigating the Workspace Tree in the Novell Vibe 3.4 User Guide.

Users who do not have this right must either perform a search to locate the entry, or they must have the entry shared with them as described in Sharing Entries in the Novell Vibe 3.4 User Guide.

For information about how users can grant other Vibe users access to an entry even when users don’t have access to the parent workspace or folder, see Exposing a Vibe Entry to a Wider Audience Than the Folder Access Controls Allow in the Novell Vibe 3.4 Advanced User Guide.

To enable users to access entries via the Workspace tree when users do not have access rights to the parent folder or workspace:

  1. Change to the following directory:

    Linux:

    		 
    /opt/novell/teaming/apache-tomcat/
                           webapps/ssf/WEB-INF/classes/config

    Windows:

    		 
    c:\Program Files\Novell\Teaming\apache-tomcat\
                           webapps\ssf\WEB-INF\classes\config

  2. Make a backup copy of the ssf-ext.properties file, which is located in the same directory as the ssf.properties file.

  3. Open the ssf.properties file in a text editor.

  4. Search for the following line:

    accessControl.viewBinderTitle.enabled=false

  5. Open the ssf-ext.properties file in a text editor.

  6. Copy the accessControl.viewBinderTitle.enabled=false line from the ssf.properties file to the bottom of the ssf-ext.properties file.

  7. Change false to true.

  8. Save and close the ssf-ext.properties file.

  9. Close the ssf.properties file without saving it.

  10. Stop and restart Vibe.
