Application-Level Security
The Breeze application has a built-in ACL-based security model that lets you assign users
different permissions to access Breeze's features. For example, you can control what users have
permissions to publish presentations by adding them to the Account Authors group. You can also
control which folders individual users can publish to.
Breeze has four primary groups that grant users access to specific features in the Breeze system. By
adding users to these groups, you can control what role a user has in your Breeze account.
These groups are:
Account Administrators
functions within the Breeze account. They can create and manage users, manage content, create
and manage courses and create and manage meetings. Note that a member of the Account
Administrators group will still need to be a member of the Account Authors group in order to
publish content.
Account Authors
They can publish content to the Breeze system, including using the Breeze plug-in for PowerPoint
to publish presentations to Breeze.
Course Managers
including creating courses, incorporating course content from Account Authors, enrolling users,
sending enrollee notifications, and setting up course reminders. They can also view content and
course reports.
Meeting Administrators
functions associated with creating meetings including setting up a meeting, inviting participants,
sending invitations and viewing reports.
In addition to adding users to groups to grant them rights to use features in the Breeze system,
you can also grant them permissions to access specific folders, content, courses and meetings. For
example, you can control whether or not a certain Account Author has permissions to publish to
a specific folder.
For more information on using Breeze's application-level security features, please refer to the
Breeze presentation titled Setting Up Users, Groups, and Permissions at
breeze_support. Instructions for setting permissions are available in the About Permissions
chapter of the Breeze Manager Help Guide. You can access the Breeze Manager Help Guide
through the Breeze Manager web application. To access the Breeze Manager, choose Start >
Programs > Macromedia > Macromedia Breeze 3 > Breeze Login Page.
Physical Security
Customers who store sensitive information on their servers should be aware of the physical
security of their systems. Breeze relies on the safety of the host system against intruders, so servers
should be kept secured where private and confidential data is at risk. Breeze is designed to take
advantage of native environmental features like file system encryption where available if
configured by the user.
Members of the Account Administrators group have access to all
