SPECIFICS ON PARTICIPANT ROLE

[Groovespacecadet]

Can Participants

-Make new records/entries in the forms tools
-EDIT the records that others have made in the forms tools? (or only their
own records/entires?)

A participant on my team cannot edit anything or create new records. I
can't believe that she needs to be a manager to make and edit records...but
it wasn't until I changed her role to manager that she was able to. Does
everyone have to be a manager to do that?

A workspace manager can set properties for each role and for each tool
seperately (including the forms tool).

In this way you can determine whether a participant can create and/or
edit records.

In order to do so, open the workspace, select the tool, and select the
menu : file / properties / tool
On the permissions tab you select the role to modify permissions for.

Hope this helps

There are two levels of permissions - Workspaces & Tools. Presuming you have
the right access ('manager'), you can do the following -

"To view or change the permissions assigned to roles in a workspace, select
File-Properties-Workspace, and select the Permissions tab in the Properties
dialog box".

"To view or change permissions assigned to roles for a selected workspace
tool, select File-Properties-Tool, and select the Permissions tab in the
Properties dialog box."

(above excerpt from the Groove 2007 User Guide).

Thanks for the reply. this is very helpful.
Any advice if I did this (set Participants as able to 'Create and Edit any
Documents'....but they are still not able to edit a document they did not
create?

thanks

The "files" tool works slightly different as you can set properties for
each individual folder.

Select the files tool, navigate to the folder you want to modify
permissions for, and select the menu : file/properties/file
Here you can change permissions for that specific folder.
