The Public Content Access feature introduces updates across the Users, Groups, and Roles pages in iManage Control Center to better display, control, and communicate whether users and roles may access public content. These changes are described at a high level below.
Users page change summary
Several fields and columns were renamed for clarity, including:
External has been renamed External user
Role has been renamed Preferred library role
Preferred Library has been renamed Libraries
New indicators now show external status, preferred library, and whether public content access is allowed or denied.
Alerts are included in dialogs to show whether access to public content is granted.
A new Libraries and Roles tab on the Users detail page provides a summary of the user’s assigned libraries, roles, and access status.
Visual indicators were added to identify external users and internal users who are denied access to public content.
Groups page change summary
New External group and External user columns were added to clarify group composition.
The Libraries column was updated to reflect roles and to provide public content access indicators for each member.
Library‑level roles now include messages showing allowed or denied public content access.
Roles page change summary
Roles now clearly state whether public content access is allowed or denied.
A new Allow public content access privilege was added at the library level, with defaults based on whether the role is for internal or external users.
Roles tables now include a Public content access column and a filter to control data output based on allowed or denied states.
Role‑editing dialogs support toggling the new privilege.
Users tabs include external user indicators.
