Enquiry K2 designer - folder category access right

Hi Catherine,

In short, yes? I am not quite sure I understand your question. Are you asking if a user is in the Designer role if they automatically get category access or are you asking why they can’t access your category or are you asking how to keep them from accessing the category?

Category security is setup in management and dictates what a user can see in designer, regardless of role. In the screen shot below, I am in K2 Management → Categories. You can then select a category and configure access rights. In my example, I have not made changes, so it is set to the out of the box default settings.

You can read more about category authorization here Categories. It is for K2 Cloud but it also applies the same way to Automation K2 on Prem. 

HTH,

Scott
