Setting Permissions
the most direct way to set permissions on an object in the bin
tree is through Aurora edit, as shown in the examples below.
Aurora edit passes the Windows Security property sheet (the
Security tab you would see for a file in Windows explorer) to
the user within the bin’s properties dialog. Here we see that
user Joe edit has been explicitly granted full control on a bin.
the assets in Aurora edit’s bin tree associate with folders in the
file system. As an alternative to setting permissions with Aurora
edit, you can set permissions directly on the associated folders
using, for example, Windows explorer, or any administrative
application.
typically, during configuration, organizations establish an
inheritance and group hierarchy for assets and users such that
permissions do not require constant management; the desired
access control happens automatically because of where the
asset is located and who is using it, not because every new
asset has had its permissions set manually.
Another entry on the same bin shows that the group interns
has inherited read-only permission. (inheritance is indicated by
the gray-shaded checkbox.)
