Overview of advanced security options

You can use advanced security options to control access to specific areas of FileCabinet CS.
To enable advanced security options, mark the
Enable advanced User/Group Security
 checkbox in the
Security
 tab of the
System Configuration
 dialog.
With advanced security options enabled, you can assign FileCabinet CS users to groups for which you can allow or deny access to certain areas of FileCabinet CS. You can add users to predefined groups, or groups that you have created. You can also add users to groups manually, or import users from your firm's domain controller if your firm uses a Windows network operating system.
A computer in your firm that manages user access to the network, including logging on and authentication, and access to the active directory and shared resources.
note
By default, all unknown users are assigned to the
$Guests
 group using their network user ID. You can also configure FileCabinet CS to assign unknown users to another group.
