Public Desktop
While the objects you set up for your workspace are only available to you, the objects in the public desktop can be made accessible by all users. Queries, links, and references in this area, however, can only be set up, modified, or deleted by users with the appropriate system roles. Access rights and system roles are assigned by your administrator.
The names and features of objects on the public desktop are the same as those on your personal workspace. Saved searches, SQL queries, links to external applications, and references to objects can be created and managed in folders.
You will be shown a confirmation dialog if you do not have access rights to objects.
Managing the Public Desktop
Users with the Manage public desktop system role can configure the public desktop. Access rights and system roles are assigned by your administrator.
The Publish feature allows users with the appropriate system role to copy objects from the navigation (see Customizing the Navigation) or from the objects' context menu to the public desktop.
Objects on the public desktop, too, can only be deleted by users with the Manage public desktop system role. These objects cannot be edited.
The security system is taken into consideration when queries are executed and references are opened. When it comes to links to external applications, the configured path must be accessible.
If they are set on table fields, saved searches with the variables #BENUTZER#", #DATUM#", #COMPUTER-IP#, #COMPUTER-GUID#, and #COMPUTER-NAME# do not lead to the desired search result on other computers, with other users, and at different times.
