Can I limit which users are permitted to use Information Manager? How can I configure this function?

Information Manager can be configured so that certain SharePoint users can be excluded from utilizing specific features or the entire tool.  By default, all SharePoint users have access to Information Manager functionality.  So, access has to be explicitly removed from users or groups of users that should not have these capabilities.

There are currently four options that restrict access:

1) Disable the entire Information Manager functionality for a user

2) Disable the Core Properties (Created/Modified and Created By/Modified By)

3) Disable the Bulk Upload function

4) Disable the Classify All function

To configure this functionality, navigate to Site Permissions and add these new permission levels:

Disable MetaVis Information Manager

Disable MetaVis Information Manager Core Properties

Disable MetaVis Information Manager Bulk Upload 

Disable MetaVis Information Manager Classify All

(Note: Disable MetaVis Information Manager takes precedence over Disable MetaVis Information Manager Core Properties. Use Disable MetaVis Information Manager to completely restrict users from Information Manager functionality.)

Add the permission levels to those users or groups who should be restricted. All other SharePoint permissions will be respected. For example, if the user has Full Control then they will still be able to edit properties and documents through the SharePoint interface regardless of their MetaVis Information Manager permission level.
