Cabinets
In addition to being a folder object, a cabinet is a domain administered object. When a cabinet is created, it is associated with a domain. The associated domain determines its policy rules and administrative policies.
A cabinet can contain folder members, which include subfolders and links to other folder members. Cabinets cannot contain other cabinets.
A cabinet may have a primary owner. By default, the owner of a cabinet is also the owner of all information stored in that cabinet. In general, cabinets provide an organizational root for information.
To facilitate organization and control of information, the system provides the following two types of cabinets:
personal: A personal cabinet is associated with a single user, who is considered its owner. In other words, you are the owner of your personal cabinet and all of the information it contains. Access to personal cabinets is through a user’s checked-out objects and workspaces; there is no direct access to personal cabinets.
shared: A shared cabinet is not associated with a single user and generally does not have an owner. Like a common filing cabinet, a shared cabinet contains information intended to be shared among users and groups. The information stored in a shared cabinet also generally has no owner. The administrative rules determine who has access to the shared cabinet and its objects (for those objects that inherit their domain). The shared cabinets within the system can also be thought of as a vault for storing information. However, the access control rules applied to the domain associated with the cabinet determine the level of security the cabinet provides.
