Access control consists of rules that you set to control the security of a Workbench project. You can set these rules at the project level or the directory (folder) level, and you can control who can access the parts of your data sets that are contained in cBases. In addition, you can define audit rules to capture and log which users have accessed particularly sensitive data.
By default, Workbench projects allow full access to administrative users and completely restrict access to non-administrative users. That is, all access control rules operate by providing access instead of restricting access, since all access for non-administrative users is restricted by default. You can grant non-administrative users permissions to access directories and portions of your data sets with the access control rules.
To enable access control in your project, see Enabling Project Access.
NOTE:If a user does not have project access, access control rules do not apply to that user and the user's access is fully restricted.
Access rules fall into the following categories:
- File Access
- cBase Access
- DiveTab Access
- Audit Rules
Each rule is set either without or with a condition. Without a condition, the rule applies to all users. With a condition, the rule applies to a specified group, user, or property.
The condition types are:
- All Users—Applies to all users (default)
- Group—Applies to everyone within the named group
- User—Applies to the specific user
- Property—Applies to any user or group that has the specified property and value(s) pair
