Everyone Group

The Everyone group is a special group that includes all users in the repository. This includes all Laserfiche users, Windows Accounts, and LDAP Accounts. No users can be removed from the Everyone group. Because the Everyone group does not behave as a normal Laserfiche, Windows Account or LDAP Account group, it is located directly off the Users and Groups node in the Laserfiche Administration Console, rather than under Groups.

The Everyone group allows you to configure basic security for all users who will access the repository. For example, if all users should be able to view a set of documents in the repository, you can use the Everyone group to grant the Read right to all users for those documents.

The authentication settings for the Everyone group control whether Windows domain and LDAP directory accounts can log in to Laserfiche. The default authentication of Not Set allows you to grant or deny access individually using Windows Accounts or LDAP Accounts. If you set authentication for Everyone to Trusted, all Windows or LDAP accounts on the domain or directory server will be able to log in, although specific Windows or LDAP accounts can still be explicitly denied access in the Windows Accounts node. If you set authentication for Everyone to Denied, no Windows accounts will be able to log in, even if they have been specifically added in the Windows Accounts or LDAP Accounts nodes.

You can use the Everyone group's Attributes tab to configure default settings for users. For example, you can use the Everyone group's attributes to set a default column display. For more information, see the section on trustee attributes.
