SECTION ACCESS for some document_security - omit logon data?

Hi,

I have just set up a SECTION ACCESS restriction on my current document so business users can access my document and see all the data, but not make any changes and/or overwrite my document by saving.

That was actually simple enough and not too time-consuming, together with adapting some document- and sheet-level settings for the users, and it seems to work fine.

I would have liked to omit the issue of logon data entirely for all other users except myself. Is there a way to just show like a "Full access" button that will lead to a logon query for myself and a "Proceed" button for everyone else?

Thanks a lot!

Best regards,

DataNibbler

You could try using NTName login instead. That would allow them to login automatically as users, and you as admin.

Hi Anders,

do you mean that when I use NTNAME, the users (who are by default already logged on to their computer/ to their domain) will be logged in automatically?

But then, I would have to specify the rights of every individual user, wouldn't I? That's not the objective - I want to distinguish merely between myself and everyone_else because I don't know how many users and who might access my document.

Best regards,

If you speficy in the 'access' column of section access that they are a 'USER' or 'ADMIN' then it will apply that to the document.

Well yes as standard, but you could try and specify * as NTNAME so all users will be able to log in as users, and then specify your user as admin.

Do not know if it works though.

Something like this:

SECTION Access;
LOAD * INLINE [
ACCESS, NTNAME

ADMIN, DOMAIN\FRIEDRICH.HOFMANN

USER, *
];

It's something I can try.

Thanks for helping!    I will let you know if it worked.
