Setting up security

Anonymous — Mon, 26 Jan 2026 18:19:17 GMT

My customer, who is an end-user, is disapointed because the security setup must be done by scripting and therefore by the (external) IT department.

I know it is tecnically very difficult to do otherwise, but maybe some-one has a genius idea.

Just have the scripting read from an excel or a db, and have the customer enter the security settings in that.

eg,

SECTION Access;

LOAD ACCESS, NTNAME, DEPARTMENT

FROM

Access\AccessList.xlsx

(ooxml, embedded labels, table is Sheet1);

;

SECTION Application;

You can also set this up in publisher and pull it into the document from there.
