Duplicating or deleting privilege sets


Once you go through the trouble of creating a privilege set exactly as you want it, you can quickly generate other sets you may need by duplicating the first and then editing the duplicates. As time passes and your needs change, prune out old privilege sets by deleting them.

To duplicate a privilege set

1.

Open any file using an account with Full Access (typically the Admin account) and choose File > Define > Accounts & Privileges.

2.

When the Define Accounts & Privileges dialog box appears, the Accounts tab is automatically selected. Click the Privilege Sets tab.

3.

Select the privilege set you want to copy and click Duplicate (Figure 15.39). A copy of the selected privilege appears in the list and is automatically selected (Figure 15.40).

Figure 15.39. Generate other privilege sets you may need by selecting one from the list and clicking Duplicate.

4.

Click Edit and the Edit Privilege Set dialog box appears where you can begin modifying the privileges for use with another group (Figure 15.41). To finish, see step 4 of To change a privilege set on the previous page.

Figure 15.41. When the Edit Privilege Set dialog box appears, start by renaming the copy and providing quick description.


To delete a privilege set

1.

Click OK to close the dialog box and when the Confirm Full Access Login dialog box reappears, type in the name of the Full Access Account (Admin unless you changed it) and the Password you chose in step 3 on page 253. Click OK to close the dialog box and apply the change.
