Controlling Object Stores

[bobrogers]

Hello,

How can I control which object stores are displayed for a specific instance of OpenWorkdesk.  I have users which should only be able to CRUD documents in specific object stores and only want them to view the object stores they have security rights via Active Directory to access.

Thanks,

Hi Bob,

I assume you're referring to the Browse Plugin and you currently see all available object stores.
There's a configuration setting which allows to setup a startup folder for this specific Browse Plugin which allows defining an object store and also a folder within this object store, so whenever this plugin is openend, the user starts browsing at the defined location.

Just use the Configurator to set the startup folder as in the picture below. If you have the Browse Plugin selected, you can also press F1 for getting a help which explains all configurable parameters.

If different user groups shall see different object stores respectively different startup folders, you have to create multiple instances of that Browse Plugin and assingn it via the role manager to the specific user group, but be aware that only the OpenWorkdesk Professional edition consists of the Role Manager feature.
The different instances of Browse Plugins can define different startup folders.

Does this answer your question?

Thanks for your help.  What would the syntax be if I wanted to give access to two folders in an object store when there were several folders?

/MEMBER_OS/SBC

/MEMBER_OS/CAP

Hello,

It is not possible to define a list of folders in the browse plugin, but you can only define one object store/folder as a root.

I assume that both folders have different contexts so therfor I would suggest that you provide 2 instances of browse plugin and give them an appropriate name, means for example you have one Plugin called Human Resources which starts browsing in the Human Resources folder and another Plugin called Sales which starts browsing in the Sales folder.

Does this makes sense to you?
