Adding a Group directory association

1.

Click on the Security tab. By default this tab is blank until a security option is selected from

the left of the browser window. Refer to the Security tab - Group Directory Associations

page section on page 61 for more detailed descriptions on the security configuration options.

2.

Click the Directory Associations link (on the left of the browser window) to populate the

Security tab with the directory associations assigned to the selected group (FIG. 51).

3.

Click the down arrow from the Select Group field to open a drop-down listing of authorized

groups. Initially, administrator is listed as a default group.

The Add Association field displays the current directory folders that currently reside

within the target Master. These can consist of G3 HTML project folders, data file folders,

etc.

4.

Enter a new directory association path into the Adding Association field. This character string

can range from 1 - 128 alpha-numeric characters. This string is case sensitive. This information

is the path to the file or directory to which you want to grant access. A single '/' is sufficient to

grant access to all files and directories in the user directory and it's subdirectory. The '/*'

wildcard can also be added to enable access to all files. All entries should start with a '/'. Here

are some examples of valid entries:
