| # Mounting Areas and Assigning User Access The mount area is the work area that must be loaded/mounted on the client computer of the user who must access or save the files in that work area. The work area is located on a remote host. When a mounted area is used, the files are registered and saved in the work area specified in the definition of the mount area. The path you see on the local host can be viewed when a mount area is defined. The path is specifically used for network installations without a vault server component, for example, if the file server is mainframe or Macintosh, on the remote system where the work area is defined. The work area directory must be shared to use the directory to register the files. If the work area folder is not shared, you can use the mount area by installing the vault server component on the remote system and, in this case, the vault server must be running on the remote host to register the files. The ERP administrator must define the path to each mount area from each client, in other words, the local host on which the mount area is mounted. The network administrator sets up access to these mount areas. Related topics Defining and assigning areas The Vault Server |
