About external user properties
Using Open Security functionality, you can store any combination of the following Actuate user properties in an external security source:
E-mail address
Web viewing preference
Home folder
Privilege template
Maximum job priority
Security IDs for page-level security
Notification preferences
Channels to which a user subscribes
If a property is specified externally, the property’s value in the Encyclopedia volume is ignored. You cannot use Management Console to update that property.
At this Open Security level, the following information is managed within the Encyclopedia volume:
User name
Security role membership
Notification group membership
Privilege rules, in the form of access control lists (ACLs) for folders and other items, such as designs, jobs, and channels
