Setting Content Level Security on a Version

You can restrict the access of users to content in IXIASOFT CCMS Web by setting Content Level Security (CLS) on a Version in IXIASOFT Dynamic Release Management in IXIASOFT CCMS Desktop.

Ensure that your system already has the user groups that match your security needs. For example, you might want to create a specific user group that will have exclusive access to confidential versions.

CLS applies to Versions in Products and Versions in Libraries of IXIASOFT Dynamic Release Management. To configure CLS, you must have permission to configure DRM.

In CCMS Desktop, open the Dynamic Release Management view, navigate to the Product or Library that you want to configure, and then navigate to the Version that you want to configure.
Right-click the Version, then click Set Security.
Set security in one of the following ways:
- To change access for a group in the list, click Read-write or Read-only.
- To remove a group and make the content invisible to them, click the X next to the group.
- To give access to a group that is not in the list, select the group and click Add Group. By default, a newly added group has Read-only access. If you want the newly added group to have more access, click Read-write.
Verify in CCMS Web that the settings are what you expect:
- To verify that a group has Read-write access, log into CCMS Web as the user and verify that you can create a map in that version. (In CCMS Web, versions are called branches).
- To verify that a group has Read-only access, create a topic in the version and use CCMS Desktop to assign it to a user in the group with read-only access. Log into CCMS Web as the user, and ensure the topic is read-only, not editable.
- To verify that a group has no access, create a topic in the version and use CCMS Desktop to assign it to a user in the group with no access. Log into CCMS Web as the user, and ensure the topic is not visible on the My Assignments page.
