Reference: see the FILES & FOLDERS - CHANGE USERS interface here.

Sometimes you need to add, or remove, the authorized people to decrypt some data. This option allows you to perform that operation on files and folders.


OPERATION SUMMARY:

  1. Select what you want to change authorizations : files or folders. To perform this, you have the following choices:
    1. FILES button: click on it to select .OBKF* files using an Explorer-like interface.
    2. FOLDERS button: acts as the same as FILES button, but selects only folders (and their sub-folders).
    3. DRAG-n-DROP: as said, you just have to drag files or folders to the target in this window.


  1. Warning: selecting FOLDERS, all files and its sub-folders will be processed too.
  2. Two windows will be shown:
    1. People to be removed of the file:
      • At the left panel, you will see all the authorized persons to decrypt this file. NOTE: if you have chosen FOLDERS or many files, you will see all persons authorized to access all the files.
      • If you do not want to remove anyone, press CONFIRM or close this window.
      • If you want to remove people, select them in the left panel and press the right arrow beside it. The chosen name(s) must appear within the right panel.
      • You can undo this operation for any name by selecting it at the right panel and pressing the left arrow beside it. The name will be removed from the authorization exclusion.
      • Press CONFIRM to go ahead.
    1. People to be included in the file: 
      • At the left panel, you will see all the authorized persons to decrypt this file. NOTE: if you have chosen FOLDERS or many files, you will see all persons authorized to access all the files.
      • If you do not want to include anyone, press CONFIRM or close this window.
      • If you want to include people, select them in the left panel and press the right arrow beside it. The chosen name(s) must appear within the right panel.
      • You can undo this operation for any name by selecting it at the right panel and pressing the left arrow beside it. The name will be removed from the authorized people group.
      • Press CONFIRM to go ahead.


  1. WARNING: be aware with the Credentials window that may appear to authorize OBAKE to access your Certificate, needed to open file(s). Look at the TASKBAR to see if there is an active window asking for your credential.
  2. The operation will start.
