How to Make a document editable by all

Hello,

I have a document that I created. How can I make this editable by every one who has author access?

I would go with Mikas suggestion, using roles. That way you can change your mind later, if (and when) a subset of your users need Author access (again).Alternatively just give everyone Editor access to the db:)

It really depends so much of the application and the needs. You can remove an entry from a field as easily as an ACL entry, or a Role.

Maybe later on there will be a need to have only certain people to edit the document, then Roles would work better, or depending on the infrastructure of the groups in the addressbook, adding a group via an agent to the Authors field would be the best.

Sometimes it’s hard to choose whether you should list users directly in the ACL, or make job description specific groups for them, or give them roles, or design the ACL according to organizational units.

Give everyone who has Author access to the database a Role, and put that Role in one of the Authors field of the document. Instead of a Role you can also use a Group, whichever suits best the situation. You can also use a * in one of the Authors fields, if you don’t need to control the access via the database ACL.

Create an Authors Field on your form and set it to “*” which will grant Author access to anyone.
