Viewing the Effective Rights for an Entry

An administrator may view a trustee's effective entry access rights for a document or a folder from the Laserfiche Windows client. This allows the administrator to confirm that a particular user or group will have the appropriate access to the document or folder in question.

Note: A user may also view his or her own effective entry access rights using the Security column in the folder browser or from the Properties dialog box for the desired document or folder.

Note: If you are currently modifying the entry access rights assigned to a document or folder, you will be prompted to save your changes before you will be allowed to view effective entry access rights for that entry.
