Repository Administration

The repository administrator is responsible for setting up the repository, and for controlling access to the documents stored within it.

Access can be controlled in the following two ways:

User and group rights – provide global levels of access, which allow the user to view the repository and have a default level of control over various kinds of objects within it. You can also standardize the provision of user rights by creating groups. See Controlling Rights for Repository Users and Groups
Document and folder permissions – provide access to individual documents, or to the contents of folders. See Controlling Permissions for Repository Items

Creating, Upgrading, and Dropping the Repository Database
The repository administrator is responsible for creating the repository database, and may need to subsequently upgrade or delete it.
Controlling Repository Access with LDAP
A repository administrator can delegate the authentication of repository users to an LDAP server by selecting Repository Administration LDAP Parameters and entering all the appropriate parameters for her environment.
Controlling Rights for Repository Users and Groups
The repository is designed to be used by different team members. Among the team members, a repository administrator has to manage the repository users.
Controlling Permissions for Repository Items
Permissions are access rights granted to users or groups on the repository, folders, documents, and model packages.
Auditing Repository Activities
Users with the Manage All Documents right can audit repository use through the List of Activities. Activities are actions that modify repository documents, such as check in, freezing, and deleting.
