Setting Ownership and Permissions of Files


NOTE: To access the repository, you need to be connected to a server, see Logging In.

When you check a file in to the repository, you become the owner of that file.

Only owners of a file and users who have "Administrator" privileges can change the ownership and permissions of that file.

To change the ownership or permissions of a file :
  1. Select "Check In" from the "Network" menu
  2. Click the "Change Permissions" button

    A dialog displaying the current owner and permissions for each group and user for that file will be displayed
  3. To change the owner, select the owner from the "Owner" drop down list.
  4. To change permissions, click either the "Read" or "Write" checkbox for each group/user

    NOTE : Giving a user/group "Write" permissions automatically gives them "Read" permissions.
  5. Close the window when you have finished.
