Hi Sean, 

Here are a few resources that may be helpful to you: 

    1.  An article in the solutions exchange that covers best practices for Laserfiche security

2. Definitions for Entry Access Rights
3. Tips for creating an organized repository

In general, when setting access rights, always do so for groups rather than for individuals. This will cut down on the number of clicks as well as provide an organized structure for your Laserfiche security. Also, do not ever deny access to a user or a group, only allow or don’t allow access. This will prevent users from encountering issues when they are a part of multiple groups.

You might also consider enrolling in the Admin I CPP course. This course will equip you to elegantly manage your Laserfiche users and repository. 

Thank you Chris and Kathryn. This guide to entry access rights definitions is exactly what I was looking for. I'm amazed I couldn't find that, and after searching again with better keywords, found it immediately.

I have a feeling I will be back with questions about AD group syncronization and how those groups work with Laserfiche groups, but that is a question for another post.

Thanks again!

I am glad to hear that this has helped!

Hi Sean,

Security is always a headwrecker when dealing with large implementations and can be difficult to manage if it's not right from the outset. Best way to think of access rights is it works pretty much the same as windows folder security but with some extras (tags). Ideally your VAR should be the first place your would turn for specific questions. I would also recommend looking into doing the Laserfiche CPP on security if you are unsure. They can be very helpful.

For a description of entry access rights please look here.

Hope this helps Sean!
