Specifications

Local directories storing relevant
chromatographic data are also
protected with Windows file and
directory permissions. Table 11
gives an overview of the Windows
permission rights on the data
directories on the local hard disk.
The first item in brackets displays
the permission rights on the fold-
er; the second item displays the
individual file permission rights.
Note:
Windows file security does not
give any access to a folder or
directory for users that do not
have access rights to the folder,
even if the user has control over
the files in the folder.

Configuration and data protec-
tion using Windows security
features
For security reasons, a user must
be a member of the Windows user
group Administrators to access
the configuration of the
ChemStation Plus Security Pack.
It restricts access to all data direc-
tories on the local PC with impor-
tant information using the
Windows users group privileges.
The default configuration auto-
matically sets all directory permis-
sions and access limitations as
part of the installation using the
Windows groups “Users” or
“Administrators”. Each
ChemStation user has to be mem-
ber of either one of the groups.
For custom configuration of the
Windows user group and user
rights, local IT can use this docu-
mentation to copy the default
security settings and file permis-
sions that are set automatically
during installation to an individual
user administration. It allows set-
ting up either additional pre-
defined NT user groups or new
user groups configured individual-
ly in the company's Windows user
management. Table 10 gives an
overview of the permission rights
that are limited to members of the
Windows administrator's group.
