Steps To Publishing Secure Division Web Content

 Step 1: Determine your needs.

Determine how your documents need to be restricted. There are 2 categories to consider;

1. Access restricted to predefined Cornell groups, such as everyone with a CU netid, employees, faculty, or students.
   
   
2. Access restricted to customized groups of netids, which you maintain yourself.

 Step 2: Make your request.

Contact the DFA authentication permits owner with a description of your request, including:

1. The reason you need the documents secured;
2. The type of permit you need, a) a predefined permit, or b) a custom permit you will maintain;
3. If you need a custom permit....
• the name of your DFA area.
• the name and the NetID of the person who will manage the list of users.  Your permit will then be created in the appropriate "Permit Tree" (i.e., DFA.<your area>.<your  document group>), which you will be able to manage.
  

 Step 2: Read the instructions you receive via email.

• If you requested a custom permit you will receive an email confirmation indicating you are responsible for managing the list of NetIDs that belong to the permit.
  
  
• You will receive instructions on accessing your secure DFA web server directory so that you can put documents there, and the URL of the folder so that you can share it with the people who have privileges to it.
  

 Step 3: Transfer your documents to the web server and manage your list of NetIDs.
