Question

Connecting to Northwoods software, is it possible to have the folder above document type hidden from access if a Northwoods user is logged into Laserfiche?

As installed, our directory structure is [repository name]/CS - Compass/(document types)

Right now the only folders in our production repository are those associated with Compass.

Is it possible to move the 2nd level of CS - Compass under another folder (like x-hidden folders), break inheritance and still have Compass get the same access as now?

I am trying to ensure that users who have access to Compass do not go directly into the Laserfiche repository and change docuements outside of Compass.

We were able to work around this situation by removing browse security on [repository name]\CS - Compass, giving the users who have access via compass read capability on this folder, but they cannot browse through it from the main repository.

Would opening the repository with the subfolder appearing as the root folder work better? Not sure if this entirely fits the bill, but check out option '-E' from the link below:

We were looking to have security control which subfolders folks are allowed to browse through.

The Northwoods Compass system is what controls anything under the "CS-Compass" subfolder. Our internal client expert's desire is that if someone uses Northwoods Compass, they would only get to the contents via the Compass system. So we looked for a way to "hide" the subfolder, but still give those same folks the permissions that they need for Northwoods Compass to work properly

Your suggestion looks like it would work if we wanted the opposite, to have the user open only that subfolder.

I seem to not follow what you are saying.

Are you basically saying you do not want them to see the subfolder unless they are already inside it? You can use access rights to do something people refer to as "Tunnelling" where you take away rights from the parent folder, but give it's children the proper rights. then you create a shortcut to the folders someplace else and they will be brought into that sub-folder without knowing it's there unless they view the top navigation bar.

For that last suggestion, you should be able to refer to this documentation in setting up the proper configuration:
