4.6.3 Access rights
In the section Access rights, the Info page presents
a table of the current access rights for each user who may access
the object. This table is discussed in section
4.7.
The modification of access rights is discussed in section
4.7. You don't have to change access rights, however, if you
only want to prevent accidental modification of a document, e.
g. while you are editing it yourself:
- Click
Version Control
for a document's entry to turn the document into
a document under version control (see
section 4.8 for details).
- Click
Set Lock
for a document's entry to bring up the 'Set
lock' form. In the 'Lock note:' field you may indicate your reason for
locking the document and when you plan to release the
lock.
The lock on the document is indicated by the
icon behind its name.
The lock will block the 'Edit' or 'Replace' actions for
this document by anyone but the owner of the lock. Also
'Attach Note' is available only to the owner of the lock.
A copy of the Document is not locked.
- Click
the
icon to display the 'Steal lock' form
if the lock is owned by another member of the Workspace. This
form shows the current 'lock note', if there is any. It lets you
enter a new 'lock note' and 'steal' the lock, i.e., make you the new
owner of the lock.
BSCW will send an email to the former owner of the lock and
inform her or him of your "unfriendly takeover".
- Click
the
icon to display the 'Set lock'
form if you are the current owner of the lock. This form shows
the current 'lock note', if there is any. It lets you edit this
'lock note' or unlock the document.
