    Better tools for managing security

    Status: Comments Requested
    by Employee Redmond.D on ‎06-26-2012 05:11 AM

    Folder and lifecycle state security is a useful feature, but it can be really hard to use.  For example, it's hard to find out which users have access to which folders.  Likewise if a user doesn't have access, it can be hard to figure out why.  If you are managing many folders, you are forced to manage them one at a time.

     

    One possible improvement to provide a view like in the Effective Folder Permissions app, which unrolls the security settings to show a per-user view.

    thumb up for the comment. It need better way to display the setting, not just in security side of view. Perhaps can have a better interface to show alll the setting in one glance, then is easy for the admin to manage it, as sometime we need to spend time to find out the reason and where actually deny the access when trying to perform certain task.

    The two primary components to give expanded consideration to:

    Permission-Based = Inclusive security model

    ACL-Based = Exclusive security model

     

    If this improvement were to be incorporated, it also would be very informative (and useful) if the Effective Folder Permissions type functionality included a detailed breakdown and possible "visual map" to the separate types of security models and the effective contribution each of these make to the net effect.
