Rollback in case of problems is automatic. Permissions are assigned to groups of users and are set up to allow or disallow access to a particular task for a given document or folder, provided the attributes are set up in the document class for that document or folder to also allow that task. Document Classes are created by the system administrator and the range of appropriate fields is allocated to that Class. A document class is defined by the attributes it contains. A document is assigned to a particular document class based on the criteria that will later be used to selectively access and manipulate that document.
Attributes define the master permissions available to a document class.
Note that these Operational Attributes set the master permissions, thereafter the Groups configuration sets up specific subsets of these permissions per group privileges. Attributes and permissions work together in Altris e B to provide document and database security. These may be Unix or NT systems using combinations of magnetic and optical storage. All access by users to these file servers is through the e B Application Server which verifies user permissions to access a particular file. Users are not able to access the file storage location directly.
