Controlling the Access of Remote Workgroups to your Data

Mirrored Workgroups

Direct Workgroups

Replica Workgroups

The mirrored workgroup configuration ensures that users of each workgroup see each other as local users. This means that access rights of physically remote users may be specified in exactly the same way as local users. For more information, see Administering Access Rights.

The direct and replica configurations keep remote users separately from local users. Defining the access of remote users to data in your workgroup is possible from within the Remote Workgroup property sheet. Double click on the relevant remote workgroup in the right hand list in Supervisor mode. The Remote Workgroup property sheet will be shown. Select the Access tab.

Note: The property sheet of mirrored remote workgroups does not contain an Access page.

Select the security profile that you wish to grant to all users of the remote workgroup. If there are specific users belonging to the remote workgroup to whom you wish to assign separate security profiles, then press the Remote User Access… button. This will display the Remote User Access Rights dialog box from which you can assign security profiles on an individual basis. For more information, see Granting Access to Remote Workgroups.
