Set Project Security

Project Security Settings

See Manage Project Security to understand how security is managed for projects, collections and networks under the default Sintelix Security Model.

Access by User Name or Group

Access to Projects, Collections and Networks can be assigned to individual users or to Security Groups. When access is assigned to a Security Group, a user has access when they are a member of that group.

Administrator's need to assign users to Security Groups. See HelpManage User Accounts.

Prevent All Access

You can prevent all users and groups from accessing a project. They will still be able to see the project in the project list, but there will be a red shield indicating that access is restricted.

Under the Default Security Model, users assigned with Admin Access will be able to access the projects.

To prevent all users and groups from accessing the project:

  1. The button under Access this Project must show Restricted. If it shows Allowed, select it to change it to Restricted.
  2. There must not be any user names or groups in the list. Remove all users and groups from the list by selecting next to each name.
  3. Select Save.
