Access rules are for admins. A rule says who may read a file, a folder, or part of a file. Anything without a rule follows the computer’s own setting.
Add a rule
- Open Knowledge, then Access rules.
- Pick the computer. Rules apply to a computer’s files, so set up a computer first.
- Add a rule and choose the file or folder.
- To limit a rule to part of a file, fill in the First line and Last line. Leave both empty for the whole file.
- Choose Who may read it: the lowest level that can read it. People at that level or higher can. You can set levels up to your own. See access levels.
- Save.
If there is already a rule for the same thing, saving changes its level.
Change or remove a rule
Press Change level on a rule to change it. A rule can also be removed. The Recent changes list shows what was changed.
Good to know
- Rules are applied on the computer. If they hit a problem, the app tells you and the computer tries again.
- Rules refer to paths. If a rule no longer matches any file, it is shown as unmatched.
- Changes to rules appear in activity.
