How Documentum ACL and Groups are connected to each other?

ACL are the access list which defines who can access a folder, While a group defines a collection of similar user access.

Can anyone please share how does folder, group and ACL are connected. Can a group have more than one ACL and vice-versa?

Need a little explanation as I am new to Documentum.

Solution
    • ACL are the access list which defines who can access a object (folder, content object, process, etc.)
    • group defines a collection of users or groups
    • ACL have two built in entries (dm_owner or creator, dm_world or eveyone) and N additional entries group or users
    • group cannot have ACL but more than one ACL can have the same group (one group/user per ACL)

    Please, be more specific about your questions. ;)
