Using the Access Control Tab

Use this procedure to associate ACLs with an item type.

  1. Click the Access Control tab from the New Item Type Definition page/window.
  2. Select Item Type Access Control List (ACL) from the drop down list box that you want to associate with this item type.
  3. Click the Create Access Control List button to create a new ACL. This step is optional.
  4. Indicate if the Check ACL at field applied to the Item type level or Item level. If you specify Item type level, the access control list applies exactly the same for all items of this type. This is a quick way to check authorization but limits you to have the same authorization for all items of this type. If you specify Item level, the authorization check is done based on each and every individual item.
  5. In the For item level ACL checking, assign ACL field, specify how the access control list is applied to new items when they are created and no specific ACL is set by the creating user. If you select Item type ACL, the access control list that is defined above is used. If you select User’s default ACL, the access control list that is defined as default ACL for the creating user is used. See User Properties for more information.
