Privileged Security Group Procedures

Notes:

This topic covers the management of Group Security on Group Item Links in Toolkit module. Privileged Security Groups can also be managed in the Admin module by using the Set Group Security Tool.

Each procedure begins by opening an Add or Edit Group Security for Content Links form. These forms can be opened from either a Group Item Profile page or a Group Item Link Profile page. We show how to open the forms from a Group Item Profile in these procedures. View the Add and Edit Group Security for Content Links Forms topic to see how to open the Add and Edit Group Security for Content Links forms from a Group Item Link Profile page.
