Using a Shared Vault View with Multiple User Profiles

A user with local administrative Windows permissions creates a shared vault view. By default, the user profile creating the view folder is granted full file permissions to any files created or cached in that view.

Other Windows user profiles with more limited file access might not have sufficient permissions to fully modify the locally cached files or to change the read-only flag, for example, when checking out a file.

Ensure that all Windows user profiles that plan to use a view have appropriate file access permissions for the folders and files in the view.

The following occurrences indicate that Windows permissions are overly restrictive:
  • Checked-out files open in read-only mode.
  • Newer versions of a file cannot be retrieved if an older version is already cached.
  • Checked-in files remain writeable.
  • Clearing a local cache fails.
