Folder permission in windchill

[msteffke]

I'm looking for some advice on managing access to a folder. I have a
couple contractors who will be on site a few months, one is here now.
He is a member of a new product context team I have created, and his
access to that product is working good. However, the contractor needs
access into one subfolder in a different product (context). I go to
that folder, select manage security, and I added him as a participant
with read and modify access to that folder. And when I change view to
my access, and add his name to the display list it indeed shows him as a
participant. However he cannot check in, it says it's a secure
location.



What am I doing wrong? Windchill Intralink 9.1





Thanks

Mark,

If you want to apply access to a single folder and the data within it,
you will need to create a new Policy domain and make that folder part of
the new domain. Then you can apply access controls to that specific domain
only.

Hope that helps!

Might it be better to create a project and place the files he needs in the project? That's typically how we share data to folks outside the product. That way we don't have to give them access to the whole product.
