Changing the ACL setting of a document In Document Manager, there are several places where you can change a  document’s ACL. This works only if the item type of the document has its ACL  bound on the item level. Table 5-2 lists the Document Manager objects where you can change the ACL  setting of a document. You change the settings through the Document Manager  Designer. Refer to the  DB2 Document Manager V8.3 System Administration  Guide , SC18-9254, for detailed instructions about how to change the ACL setting  for each of these objects. Note:  The behavior you expect from changing the ACL setting only works if  you create the document’s item type with the ACL bound at the  item level .  Chapter 5. Security  97 Table 5-2 Document Manager objects where you can change the ACL setting Document Manager  objects Description New item templates The  new item templates  object provides you the ability to  specify default information for properties, security, and  standard folders for new items being added to a system. The  security section is where you can specify ACL setting. If you  specify an ACL setting at the state object, this setting  overrides the ACL setting that is bound to the item type.  Otherwise, the item that you create using this new item  template inherits the ACL setting of the item type. State The  state  object has a security section for you to specify the  ACL you want an item to have when it transitions into this  state. If you specify an ACL setting at the rendition object,  this setting overrides the ACL setting that the item has  before it transitions into this state. Otherwise, the item ACL  setting remains unchanged. Rendition destination  configuration You can specify ACL settings when you define a  rendition  destination configuration  object. If you specify ACL  settings, the rendition object is bound to the ACL settings  that you specify. Otherwise, the rendition object has the ACL  of the item type under which it is created. Action process object The  action process object  falls under the Document  Manager automation services. There are different types of  action process objects. The  Modify ACL  action type is one  of them. The action modifies the ACL of the item.
