Disabling the Security ID

When a security ID is set on the Data Store, client files linked to that Data Store cannot be opened by an administrator of a different Data Store.

If you are an administrator of the Data Store, you can disable the security ID. By doing so, the protection-enabled client file can be opened by an administrator connected to a different Data Store.

Once the security ID is disabled and an administrator of a different Data Store opens the client file, the following occurs:

  • The Allow administrators connected to a different data store to log onto this file check box is cleared.
  • The security ID of the new store is linked to the client file and can only be opened with the new Data Store.
  • If no security ID exists in the new Data Store, the security ID is removed from the file.

Note: The file is maintained under the original Data Store in the following circumstances:

  • When a non-administrator connected to a different Data Store opens the client file.
  • If the check box is cleared before the file has been opened by an administrator of a new store.
  1. From within a Working Papers client file select Tools | Protection | Protection Setup. The Users and Groups dialog opens.
  2. Click the Setup button. The Setup Dialog opens. Note that you must be logged in as an administrator to access this tab.
  3. Select the Allow administrators connected to a different Data Store to log onto this file check box.
  4. Click OK.
