About file privileges
The Encyclopedia volume supports the following privileges for a file:
Delete
A user can delete the file.
Grant
A user can change privileges on the file.
Read
A user can open and download the file.
Execute
A user can execute a file if the user has both execute and one of the following privileges on the file:
Read
Secure read
Visible
A user has all privileges on a document the user creates.
Secure read
Restricts viewing of a document to DHTML format and prohibits downloading. Typically, the administrator assigns Secure read privilege to a user accessing BIRT documents with the BIRT Page Level Security option.As an example, a design developer creates a design that uses the BIRT Page Level Security option. The administrator assigns a user secure read privilege on the document and the BIRT Page Level Security option. The user’s ID determines what parts of a document generated from a BIRT design using BIRT page-level security the user can view.
Read privilege overrides the secure read privilege. If a user has both read and secure read privileges on a document, the user can view and download the entire document.
Trusted execute
Permits users to execute an information object without having execute privilege for an information object’s underlying data sources. This privilege applies only to Actuate information object (.iob) files and data source map (.sma) files.
The trusted execute privilege is only available for IOB and SMA files when you set privileges using Management Console. Only a user with administrator privileges can grant the trusted execute privilege. The trusted execute privilege is not inherited.
Visible
A user can see a file in the Files and Folders list, but not open it.
