Effect on Resource Rights after Deleting the Mapping

The example in this section explains the effect on resource rights after deleting the resource mapping at the item level.

Consider a Workflow listitem. A user belongs to the Contributor security group at the repository level, and to the Limited Access security group at the ListItem level. This example shows the resource rights, if the user deletes the mapping done at the listitem level.

Assume that there are four users in a repository with the following resource mapping at the repository level:

Here John, Kevin, and Bob are mapped to the Administrator, Contributor, and Reader security groups respectively.

1. Log on as the Administrator user to map the Contributor user 'Kevin' to the Limited Access security group at the workflow listitem level.

2. Go to Workflows.

3. Right-click a workflow, for example, 'Sale Workflow', and the select Security Settings from the context menu.

4. Click View Effective Security for User/Role.

5. Select the User Based tab, and search for the user 'Kevin' to view mapping at the listitem level.

6. Before security is enabled at the listitem level, 'Kevin' has Contributor rights at the 'Sale Workflow' item level.

7. Click Security Snapshots to view the mapping details at the repository level.

8. Go to Advanced Settings tab, and click Enable ListItem Specific Security to enable the security at the List level.

9. Check Resource Mapping  to change the mapping of the user 'Kevin', and then click Next.

12. The Mapping : User to a Security Group appears.

13. Map the user 'Kevin' to the Limited Access security group at the list level.

14. Click Save. The resource mapping saved successfully message appears.

15. Click OK. You will be redirected to the Security Group Mapping page.

16. Now the user 'Kevin' has Limited Access rights at the Workflow listitem level.

17. After changing the security settings, check the behavior of this user.

18. Click View Effective Security for User/Role.

19. Select the User Based tab and search for 'Kevin' to view the mapping at the listitem level.

20. After enabling security at the listitem level, the user 'Kevin' has Limited Access rights at the 'Sale Workflow' item level.

21. Click Security Snapshots to view mapping details.

22. Now, remove the mapping at this list item level. To do this, click Advanced Settings tab, and then click Remove Security from this ListItem.

23. Select Resource Mapping, and click Next to remove mapping at this level.

24. Click Next.
