Attachment Privileges

This set of privileges determines if users or group members can view, add, edit, and delete attachments to items in the selected project. An attachment can be a URL, a link to a file, or a link from one item to another.

You can also allow users to specify individual attachments to items as "unrestricted," meaning that anyone with privileges to view the item can also view any of its attachments that are designated as unrestricted. By default, all attachments are restricted based on privileges granted to users.

The following information applies to attachment privileges:

All selections apply to the selected project and inherited projects unless inheritance is removed.
Users who do not have privileges to view an item's attachments cannot view file attachments and images that are added to Text fields, notes, and e-mail messages using the Rich Text Editor.
Users who are assigned a "view" attachment privilege can also send e-mail messages from attachments they can view. E-mail messages sent from attachments are only attached to the item from which they are sent if the user has "add" note privileges. In addition, you must also select the Insert E-mail as Note system setting in SBM System Administrator before e-mail messages to items are attached to items.
Unrestricted item links can be viewed by users who have privileges to view the linked item. Restricted item links can be viewed by users who have privileges to view the linked item and privileges to view attachments on the item containing the item link. If users create a two-way item link, the unrestricted/restricted status of the item link in the destination project is the same as the source item link if they have privileges to set this status in the receiving project. If they do not have privileges to set this status in the receiving project, the status of the item link in the destination project is determined by default settings specified on the Attachments tab of the Settings dialog box in SBM System Administrator.
Labels for the Attachment section can be customized and may be reflected in privilege names.

Note: If you apply privileges to multiple projects while you are editing user or group accounts, your changes are added to the Changes Log in the upper right pane. You can then save your changes for multiple projects at one time rather than incrementally for each project.

The following table describes each attachment privilege and the product-access types to which it applies.
