Hidden script in access section

[vijaysahu2]

Hi all

I have never worked before creating Access section for security.

I would like know when we create this hidden script it asks for password.

1.what is significant of this password?

2.does it always require for whoever open the document?

3. As as team do we need to collectively think to set this password like we do for any service account?

4 Once access section with all users and admins are created, who will require this password to open this document.

I am working in migration project and in current dashboard Access section is not included .Now our team has to add this.

Kindly please help me to understand it.

Hi Vijay,

I think there you have a little confusion about this themes.

Section Access and Hidden Script section are not the same thing, even if it's recommended to insert the Section Access Script into Hidden Script section.

1. When you creare a Hidden Script section, a password is required because the "hidden script" must be "hidden", so the password is used to show the code only to the developer that set it.

2. This password is always required to show or edit the script

3. If you are talking about password for Section Access, you might follow the policy used for the passwords, if you specify the column Password on Section Access Load: but if you want you could link the section access with column NTNAME to you LDAP and, in this case, the password will be the same of the user authentication (if you are in the same network, the authentication form will not be displayed and will be by-passed automatically)

4. When trying to open a document with Section Access, a new form will ask you the username and password set on script (if you didn't use before an authentication based n NTNAME or machine ID).

Let me know if you have other questions about it.
