Administrative Functions / Library Policies

Library Policies allow System Administrators and Library Managers to control how MAGIQ Documents behaves on a Library basis.

By configuring a series of policies, managers can set rules for whether a certain operation is allowed. Furthermore, it allows you to control who gets to perform these allowed operations.

Example:

You may wish to restrict the deletion of documents to a select few users in a given library. By default, the library manager, the system administrator and users with "full control" permissions are allowed to delete documents. By setting the permission drop down control to blank. You can prevent the deletion of documents by users with full control.

To view or change the Library Policies, perform the following.

  1. Navigate to the "Control Panel" by clicking on the "Control Panel" tab.
  2. Click on the "Libraries" link in the "Control Panel" window.
  3. Select a document library from the list.
  4. Click on the Library Policies link located on the left sidebar.
  5. This will launch the "Library Policies" window.
