Managing Encyclopedia volume security : Setting privileges to access an information object
 
Setting privileges to access an information object
If a user has trusted execute privilege to access an information object or data source map, iHub does not check the privileges of any data sources that the information object uses. If the user has only execute privilege, iHub checks the privileges of the underlying data sources before it runs the information object. Figure 8‑2 shows an example of iHub checking privileges. MyObject uses the Source1 information object. Source1 uses Source2. If a user has execute privilege on MyObject and trusted execute privilege on Source1, iHub checks privileges on MyObject and Source1. iHub does not check privileges on Source2.
Figure 8‑2 Using trusted execute privilege
In Files and Folders, the administrator can set the trusted execute privilege on Properties—Privileges for an information object, as shown in Figure 8‑3. iHub removes the trusted execute privilege when you update or copy an object.
