Access rights - BO Inbox

Some of our users can’t view or copy documents out of their BO inboxes. What granular right should be enabled to achieve this? Thanks.

BOE 4.1 SP5

In Inboxes, top-level security, all users should have the “Full Control (Owner)” access level. This will give them access to content in their own inbox.

A problem can occur if someone manually moves a document into an inbox (i.e., using the CMC rather than using the “Send To” function). In this case, the document can retain its originally ownership.

Joe,

I think I’m having a similar issue. I did a migration from 3.1 to 4.2 and users are not getting full control on their inboxes. The only principals are Administrators (Full Control inherited) and Everyone (Advanced Inherited).

I can add the individual’s Full Control rights to their inbox, but would rather not have to do this for all 400+ accounts. Is there a way to assign In Box rights en masse?

Thanks!

Hi Mike

Its not Joe speaking :smiley:

Yes, you can do that. Just follow Joes hint.

  1. Navigate to Inbox
  2. Choose Top level Security
  3. Change for the Everyone-group, so they have “Full Control (owner)”-access level.

Good luck
/Björn

Bjorn,

I do believe that resolved my problem. Thanks! :slight_smile:
