Manage security for a backward-compatible document library

1. Open the Web folder for the document library.
2. Open the Management folder, and then double-click Workspace Settings.
3. On the Properties page, click the Security tab.
4. Click Add, select one or more users to add to the list of users, and then click OK.
5. In the Role list, click the role to which you want to assign the user.
6. Click OK.

Notes

• By default, a user is automatically assigned to the role of reader.
• If you have a list of users who are all members of the same domain group, you can save time by adding the domain group instead of adding each user individually. If you add a new user to the group later, the new user automatically acquires the permissions of the group.

2. In the document library, right-click the folder to which you want to add users, and then click Properties.
3. On the Properties page, click the Security tab.
