Check the Project Share Consistency

It is recommended to perform this procedure if you have shared the project externally using Windows.

  • You have shared the project on Server using SMC or externally using Windows.
  1. In the SMC tree, select Projects.
  1. Click Check Project Share Consistency .
  • The system internally checks the security permissions for each user or user group on the individual subfolders of the project and displays a message asking if you want to open the Project Share Consistency log file now. If there are no inconsistencies in the project share the log file displays the same message.
    The log file lists the project share consistency report. Check for any inconsistencies in the following parameters:
    - The project is shared.
    - The subfolders are shared with proper base share name.
    - All the users configured have the required security permission on each individual subfolder.
    Click Yes to open the log.
  • A log file opens in the default editor. The log file is also saved on the disk under
    [installation drive:]/[installation folder]\GMSMainProject\log.
    In the log file you if you observe the following, proceed as follows:
    - A user assigned to multiple user groups is displayed with permissions for each group configured. However, on the project shared subfolder only the user with the user group having minimum permissions will be considered.
    - If a user with which the project subfolder is shared is an administrative user then this user can have more access than required access for the individual shared folder.
    - If the user does not have the required permission (for example, the permissions are too low/too high) then you need to clear the previous project share configuration and reshare the project for that user.
