Security Question

I previously posted in the Silverlight area.  I realize this was probably not the correct forum.

Is it possible to have a default or annonymous security for viewing access. Then, enable a security role with a user to have access to just one layer. I am hoping I do not have to have all of my users login/out each time just to secure one layer.  Only a handful of users need access to the secured layer.

Thank you

Jason

  Hi Jason,

  Yes this is possible. You can configure permissions on individual layers to allow only specific users and roles. As long as you don't configure permissions on the Site node in the permissions tree no one will be forced to sign in. All users will be anonymous at first and will get access to the site, minus the secured layers. If a user then clicks the sign in button and signs in the viewer will reload and permissions will be evaluated again, this time potentially granting access to those layers.

  Thanks Ryan.  Is this capability new to 4.0?  We are still in 3.xx.  I think 3.14 or something.  I do not see a sign in button.  Once I have security enabled, I am always prompted for a username and password.

  Yes. Support for both anonymous and secured content in the same site was added in 4.0. The sign in/out buttons were added in 4.1 with the 2.2 viewers.

  This is what I figured.  We are upgrading next month.  I will look forward to implementing this capability then.  Thanks again. Jason
