12.4 User Authentication

Archive and Version Services uses eDirectory to authenticate users who access the archive database. For more information, see Section 4.1, Network Architecture Prerequisites and Guidelines.

In the following scenarios the user can restore or view all the previous versions of the files or directories:

  • A user assigned with write permissions can view all the previous versions of the files or directories, even if he or she was previously not allowed to access the older versions of that file.

  • A user assigned with read permissions can view all the previous versions of the file even if he has no write permission for the current location. The user can restore the files or directories to a different location where he or she has write permissions.
