Topic 10.1.1: Types of Project Security
- Local Only: This is the standard mode for most projects: users and groups are created in the project development environment, and they apply only to the project for which they are created.
- Distributed – Server: This is similar to Local only, except that the project's security system configuration is also made available to other projects (that are set to Distributed – Client) on the same network. Furthermore, if the project loses its security system configuration for some reason, it can re-import the configuration from one of its client projects.
- Distributed – Client: When this mode is selected, the project gets its entire security system configuration from another project (that is set to Distributed – Server) on the same network. The project caches this configuration and can continue to run even if it loses communication with the server project.
- Domain (LDAP): The Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) is a recognized standard for managing users and groups across many different applications on a network. When this mode is selected, the project gets its users and groups from an LDAP-compliant domain server
