Delegating Control Question

[Scallica]

Hello,

I would like to delegate control to the Users container to two employees. I
would like them to only be allowed to modify personal information of
Contacts and Users. I tried to do this, but I can only grant them these
specific permissions for Contacts only....not Users. Any ideas how I can do
this?

Thanks,
Scallica

Not sure what information fields you are trying to delegate in Users... I am
able to delegate any or all fields of user objects, as well as contacts...

Yo Stew,

I would like to delegate read/write information to personal fields (phone
num, address). I can assign these specific rights to Users objects and
Contact objects to a user, but NOT simultaneously.

For example,

I can delegate Read/Write access of personal fields of Contact objects to
Employee A.
I can delegate Read/Write access of personal fields of Users objects to
Employee A.

I cannot delegate these privileges at the same time....only separately.

Does that matter?

Once deligated the users have been deligated the appropriate privliges...
No?

The reason this occurs is because of commonality of the schema... and common
fields of objects... Like if you tried to deligate "Description" for
computer and "Description: for user... these are common in the schema...
actually it is the same schema field... just belonging to two different
objects... The Deligation of control wizard filters objects based on what
you choose along the way... if you choose both "User Objects" and "Contact
Objects" no commonality exists so you have filtered out your choices...

Stew,

I'm a little confused. When I select User objects and Contact objects from
the list, in the next window, I cannot select "Read/Write Personal
Information". I can only select this if I select User alone or Contact
alone.

So my main question is.....can you assign a user rights to only modify
personal information for User and Contact objects?

Thanks,
Scallica

No... to your question... You can do both... The problem is with the
wizard... not the ability to assign the rights... As I said the problem is
the filter mechanism of the wizard... not the ability to do it...

User Objects do not have personal information fields... it has Address,
City, State... etc... where as Contact Objects have these fields, but not
under the same aspect of the schema... Just delegate User Objects... and
then Contact Objects as needed and you will be set...

Stew,

I understand now. I can assign rights to an employee for User objects, then
run the Wizard again and assign rights to Contact objects?

Oh ok...In User objects, I thought address, city, state were personal
information fields.
