Hi Paul,
Folder level permissions is a feature of Productstream 5, not Vault 5. These
permissions include Full Control, Edit, Read Only, and No Access.

Hi all,
Does Vault 5 have the ability to set permissions to folders to deny certain
users acces to folders in the vault?
That is dissapointing! I wouldn't want to start using PS just for folder permissions.
Without PS, what would be your suggestion on how to share the models engineering creates with production engineering dept. They obviously are not allowed to change models, but i don't see how to restrict that.
Since there is not way to get a license of Vault installed outside of
the computers that have Inventor (or other "qualifying" product)
installed on it, this would be the first problem that you need to get
around. Getting them a seat of "Productstream reviewer" would allow you
to do this and would get you the folder based permissions.
alternately if the MFG users have ACAD or Inventor - you can install
vault but just make their role "vault consumers" which gives them read
only access...
If neither of these work for you - develop an internal process that
copies out the proper "released" files from vault to an external windows
folder that is protected. this works very well because you don't have
to worry about working on models while production is making parts from
them - since vault doesn't cotroll "released" versus "in work" then you
have a big risk of making models that aren't officially released if they
did have direct access to the vault.
The situation currently is as you describe where production engineering have an inventor seat with read-only permissons in the vault.
But in fact they want to step up and use the models to design fixturing for them and make setup drawings. With the vault being read-only for them, they have nowhere to store the files except in their working folder. Which is of course counter productive if you want to share the work with co-workers.
Would PS support this workflow and allow us to store the data created by production engineering in the vault while maintaining read-only acces to the models created by engineering?
