Introducing GridBank Web Access

GridBank Web Access (GWA) is a web-based application part of the GridBank Data Management Platform. It is
launched after the GridBank installation. To be able to use GridBank Web Access, you need to have your user
account imported or created in GridBank Management Console.
GWA allows GridBank users to upload, access, and search for their digital data in GridBank Data Management
Platform over the Internet. The main operations GridBank users can perform in GridBank Web Access include:
 Ingesting their important data into datasets and storing it.
 Retrieving and acquiring it (the data that is already archived and stored in the GridBank environment).
 Searching for it.
 Using briefcases to set together data from different datasets into one place.
Operations that GridBank users perform on their data in GridBank Web Access are automatically synchronized
with the rest of the GridBank applications.
But what is a DATASET – the following is the definition, based on the GridBank philosophy:
It is a named collection of data that contains individual data units organized (formatted) in a specific GridBank-
prescribed way and accessed by a specific access methods that are based on the data set organization.
Datasets are organized in various logical structures determined by the GridBank policies and predefined rules,
parameters and attributes. Some of the parameters and attributes are specified at the time of the dataset
allocation (creation), but could be modified later on demand. Data ingested in GridBank is organized into the
following dataset types:
 Archives are datasets which are created once, are of fixed size, can be read many times and can only be
deleted by administrators or policies.
 Libraries are datasets with a dynamic structure, which size is forever increasing, these can be accessed
many times and individual files within the library can be deleted. Libraries can be viewed as a snapshot of
fixed content information for a particular time period, from a particular source.
 Repositories are working datasets, which size is forever changing, these can be accessed many times and
individual items within repositories can be deleted.
GWA Important Requirements

This section helps you to identify the requirements needed for the smooth running of GridBank Web Access on
your computer.
Software Requirements
The following are the software requirements for starting to use GWA:
 Recommended Operating System: Windows 7/ 8/8.1
 Recommended Web Browser: Internet Explorer 8/9/10/11
13
 Flash Player - For multiple file upload in GridBank datasets, a Flash Player needs to be installed on the
machine you will use to access GridBank Web Access.
Launching GWA in Internet Explorer 11

If you wish to open and use GridBank Web Access via Internet Explorer 11, you need to add it to the Internet
Explorer Compatibility View.
To use GWA via Internet Explorer 11:
1. Open Internet Explorer 11.

2. On the Tools menu, click Compatibility View settings.

2. Enter the URL of the web server where GridBank Web Access has been deployed, e.g.
http://serverpublicIP:80.
3. In the Login box, enter your credentials, e.g. user name, password and domain name.
15
4. To log in to the system, click Sign In.
A progress bar appears indicating the process.
GridBank Web Access User Interface

GWA has a user-friendly, intuitive interface that allows you to communicate with your data uploaded in GridBank
easily and visually clearly.
GWA design arranges the window of the interface dividing it into 4 main sections:
1. Main Header
2. Secondary Menus (Tree Views)
3. Main Menu
4. Central Section (Display Panel, Header and Footer)
16
Main Header
The top main section is named “Main Header”, where on the left is the logo of the product and on the right are
placed helpful tabs, so called “Utility Tabs”, for performing some of the basic or be of frequent usage actions.
And these GWA utility tabs are as follows: Log Off, Create Dataset, Upload, Search and About. See the
picture below:
 Log Off - enables you to log off from your user account in GridBank Web Access.
 Create Dataset - enables you to create a dataset only if you have selected Archives, Libraries or
Repositories node from the Secondary Menu.
 Upload - enables you to upload files only if you have selected a library or repository name from the
Secondary Menu or from the Display Panel.
 Search - redirects you to GridBank Web Access search menu.
 About - provides brief information about the GridBank Web Access web application.
Main Menu
The bottom left main section is named Main Menu of the GWA interface, so called the “entry point” of the GWA
functionality. The GWA main menu has 4 menu tabs:
1. Mail - enables you to access your mailbox and PST archives and perform operations on search, adding tags
to emails, saving emails and adding emails to a selected briefcase. You can also select a mailbox archive
and save it as a PST file in a selected dataset.
2. Files - enables you to access your GridBank datasets or create new ones and ingest files into them. It also
enables you to perform a quick search for files, save your files and file search results, add tags to files and
send files to briefcases.
3. Search - enables you to search separately for files and emails performing quick and advanced search. You
will also be able to perform a combined file and email search across all your datasets, mailbox and PST
archives. Your search results can be managed from here – they can be saved in a new archive and later
accessed, a legal hold policy to prevent them from deletion can also be applied.
17
4. Briefcases - enables you to organize saving your files and emails from different datasets in one briefcase.
Data in GWA briefcases can be downloaded, deleted and tags can be added to it as well.
Note: GridBank Web Access allows you to only view the tab you have selected by enabling the Show
only selected tab option.
Secondary Menus
The top left main section of the GWA interface, dynamically displays the secondary menus as tree structured
views. Each tree view has a number of hierarchical connected nodes, enabling different operations for working
with the data. The section displays only that tree view, which menu tab is currently selected from the main menu.
See next page.
There are 4 secondary menus connected with the selection of a control tab in the Main Menu, as follows:
1. Files Tree View - displays your datasets in the form of nodes. The main nodes here are: Archives,
Libraries, Repositories, Global Catalog and Quick Search. These nodes can be expanded and a list of
sub-nodes becomes available. The nodes and the sub-nodes’ data can be directly accessed in the tree view.
It is dynamically presented in the Display Panel. The Quick Search node in the Files Tree View allows you
to search for files in your Global Catalog datasets (datasets of users, sources and applications for which you
have been granted with content access control permissions) or in datasets created by you.
2. Mail Tree View - displays users’ mailbox and PST archives in the form of nodes. The main nodes here are:
Mailbox Archives, PST Archives and All Users. These nodes can be expanded and a list of sub-nodes
becomes available. The Mailbox Archives node shows all mailbox archives of the logged-in user. The PST
Archives node shows all imported in GridBank PST archives of the logged-in user. The All Users node
18
shows all mailbox and PST archives of other GridBank users for which the logged-in user has been granted
with content access control permissions. The nodes and the sub-nodes’ data can be directly accessed in the
tree view. It is dynamically presented in the Display Panel.
3. Search Tree View - displays different options for search of files and emails in the form of nodes. The main
nodes here are: Files, Emails, and Combined as each node includes a couple of sub-nodes. The nodes
and the sub-nodes functionality and data can be directly accessed in the tree view. They are dynamically
presented in the Display Panel.
4. Briefcases Tree View - displays users’ briefcases in the form of sub-nodes. The main node here is the
Briefcases node. When it is expanded, if there are created briefcases, it displays a list of briefcases as sub-
nodes. The briefcases can be accessed directly in the tree view and their data will be dynamically presented
in the Display Panel.
Central Section
The central section has its own: 1. Navigation Header, 2. Display Panel, 3. Footer and 4. Metadata Panel.
Their content relates to the nodes from the tree view. Which node is currently selected, its related content is
dynamically loaded within the header, the display panel and the footer as well.
1. Navigation Header - The header of the central main section, informational part of the content, related to the
node dynamically shows the current position of the user navigating through the GWA interface. The
information about that current position is shown as a title (which is the name of the node, currently selected)
and as a breadcrumb trail (the GWA keeps track of your locations within the product).
19
2. Display Panel - The content view of the central main section is called “Display Panel”. It displays the content
underneath the node selected from the tree view. See next page.
3. Toolbar (Action Buttons) - The footer of the central main section (the operational part of the content,
related to the node) dynamically loads and displays different sets of action buttons, depending on what node
is selected from the tree view The buttons contain a GWA-defined text label and an icon that indicates what
the button does when the user selects it. The buttons are used to start an operation. The buttons have the
following states:
 Active – The button can be used to perform the operation for which is created.
 Inactive – The button is not active for the selected object.
 Selected – The button becomes active for the selected object.
 Highlighted – When the button is active and you point with the cursor on it, then the button becomes
highlighted and information about it is displayed.
4. Metadata Panel (Module Tabs) - Within the central main section, an additional window may open
dynamically on the right side of the Display Panel. It happens when a dataset or a file in the Display Panel is
selected (marked in blue). Only then the button Metadata (from the set of buttons in the footer) becomes
active. As a result of clicking on it, the metadata of the marked object is displayed in that additional window,
named Metadata Panel. Three module tabs are used to provide an easy way to show the metadata parted
by categories.
20
The metadata categories are as follows:

 Standard Fields (for datasets and files): General: Name, Description (can only be edited), ID, Created,
Owner; Length (for files); Datasets (for datasets only): Dataset Type, Availability, Quota, Used Space;
 Extended Fields (for files): Ingestion: Date Ingested, Version, File URI, Original File Name and
Processed Length; Access: Attributes; Record: Is Record ; (for datasets): Record: Is Record;
 Customized Fields (for files): Metabase Fields and Tags;
The metadata panel has its own footer section. Within it different sets of action buttons are dynamically
loaded and displayed depending on which Module Tab is selected.
 User Name Bar: At the very bottom of the GWA interface is the user name bar – it displays the first and
last names of the current user, who has logged in to the web application.
21

Introducing GWA User Working Modes

There are 3 different levels of access to the GWA and they define the 3 different working modes of GWA. Each
access level has its own set of operations that could be performed within GWA. In each set the number of
operations and their type are based on the permissions, the access level has. Any user imported or created in
GridBank platform is able to work with GWA. Depending on the level of access the user is granted, the GWA
works in the corresponding mode. The following are the three working modes in GWA:
1. Regular User Mode – the most restrictive level of access, the lowest one. At this level the users are able to
work with only their data.
2. E-Discovery and Auditors Group Mode – the less restrictive level of access, the middle one. At this level
the users are able to work with their data as well as to work with the other users’ data. The last is possible
after adding the accounts of selected users to their own account. For more information about the operations
performed by those users, see for reference: GridBank 4.0 E-Discovery Getting Started Guide.
3. Administrators Mode – the most non-restrictive level of access, the highest one. At this level the users are
able to work with their data as well as to work with the all the rest GridBank users’ data. The last is possible
even without having to add the other users’ accounts to their own admin account. The all other users’ all
datasets are listed by default in the admin account under the node All Users. Anyway the admin is able to
add the accounts of selected GridBank users to his/her admin account as well – this way working separately
with the datasets of a single user. For more information about the operations performed by those users, see
for reference: GridBank 4.0 E-Discovery Getting Started Guide.
GWA Regular User Working Mode

In this mode, you as a regular user will be able to access, view and work with only your data or shared data of
other GridBank users, sources and applications. The main operations that you can perform include:
 View, manage and search your Mailbox Archives – under the Mail tab.

 View, create and manage your Briefcases – under the Briefcases tab.
 Add, manage and download emails and files to the briefcases – under the Briefcases tab.
After you login in as a regular user, you are presented with the following view of GridBank Web Access:
After you log into GWA, the Display Panel shows detailed information about you as a GridBank regular user.
Your user information is divided into four sections:
1. General: Provides information about your user’s details: user name, first name, last name, description, email
address, mailbox alias, default archive name, the date when your account was imported (created) in
GridBank, user ID, data grid with which your user account is associated.
2. Authentication: Provides information about your user’s logon name, authentication mechanism (Basic
Authentication, Active Directory or LDAP), your AD user name, if your user account is a master administrator

Introducing GridBank Web Access Mail

Management
In today's dynamic business environment, the rate of email data growth is increasing exponentially and this is
having a negative impact on Exchange Server performance. Despite recent improvements in the capacity of
primary mailboxes, over time inboxes become overloaded and are either archived to PST files, effectively
removing them from centralized IT control, or are kept on the Exchange Server leading to performance
implications and increased risk of outages. GridBank enables automated migration of data to secondary storage,
reducing the load on the Exchange Server, whilst retaining the data assets under corporate IT management.
GridBank Mail Management options help you to ingest selected users’ mailboxes from an Exchange Server to
its platform by executing an automated mailbox optimization policy. Ingested mailboxes in GridBank can be used
as backup copies if a data loss occurs on the Exchange Server. Users’ mailboxes content can also be optimized
on the Exchange Server as archiving part of users’ emails e.g. attachments and body in GridBank. This can
reduce used storage on the Exchange Server and improve its performance. One of the options for accessing
user’s mailboxes and PST archives imported in GridBank is GridBank Web Access application.
Managing Mailbox Archives in GridBank Web

Access
GridBank Web Access displays your mailbox and PST archives stored in GridBank, after they have been
imported with a GridBank policy from an Exchange mail host. GridBank provides you with the opportunity to
access your important emails from everywhere you are and from any computer over the Internet. Your important
emails are protected in GridBank, and can only be deleted by the GridBank Master Administrator. You can
access them instantly and use them to acquire the information you need. GridBank Web Access helps you to
search for your emails, using one of the many search options it offers. After you find the emails you have
searched for, you can save them in an archive, which can be protected from deletion. This way you will be able
to access the most important for you information without an effort and be confident that it will not be deleted and
you can access it whenever you need it.
Viewing Mail Tab Options

Managing PST Archives in GridBank Web

Access
A PST file, or personal storage table (.pst) file, is a Microsoft Outlook Data File that stores as a backup a
user's Outlook data, including all mail folders and the items within the folders, such as emails, email
attachments, to do items and appointments, contacts and more. But the use of .pst files to manage
messaging data can result in the following issues:
 Unmanaged files - Generally, .pst files are created by users and reside on their computers or network
shares. They aren't managed by your organization. As a result, users can create several .pst files containing
the same or different messages and store them in different locations, with no organizational control.
 Increased discovery costs - Lawsuits and some business or regulatory requirements sometimes result in
discovery requests. Locating messaging data that resides in .pst files on users' computers can be a costly
manual effort. Because tracking unmanaged .pst files can be difficult, .pst data may be undiscoverable in
many cases. This could possibly expose your organization to legal and financial risks.
 Inability to apply messaging retention policies - Messaging retention policies can't be applied to
messages located in .pst files. As a result, depending on business or applicable regulations, your
organization may not be in compliance.
 The risk of data theft - Messaging data stored in.PST files, is vulnerable to data theft. For example, .PST
files are often stored on portable devices such as laptops, removable hard drives, and portable media such
as USB drives, CDs, and DVDs.
 Fragmented view of messaging data -Users who store information in .pst files don't get a uniform view of
their data. Messages stored in .pst files are generally available only on the computer where the .pst file
resides. As a result, if users access their mailboxes using Outlook Web App or Outlook on another computer,
the messages stored in their .pst files are inaccessible.
How GridBank helps you in resolving the above issues:

 First - by using PST Importer, GridBank brings your PST files (spread all over) in one place, that allowing you
to have all of them together.
 Then - by using GWA, GridBank allows you to access, view and manage your PST files and their content
(messages, calendar, contacts, etc.).

Managing Tags of PST Archive Emails

Tags in GWA are used for storing information about the content of a particular file or email. They are also used
as a search criterion in Advanced Files Search and in advanced options for email search. GWA allows adding,
editing or removing tags.
Adding Tags to PST Archive Emails
Adding a new tag to an email helps you to store additional information about the content of that email. Tags can
also be used as a criterion when you perform an email search. They keep valuable information about the email’s
content that can help you to reduce the returned search results and only find particular information contained in
the tag.
To add a tag to an email in a PST archive:
1. Already viewing PST archive folder content, do one of the following:

2. To invoke the Manage Tags window, depending on your choice in the previous step, do one of the following:

Introducing GridBank Dataset Types

GridBank users’ data is ingested into three (3) types of data sets:
1. Archives are datasets which are created once, are of fixed size, can be read many times and can only be
deleted by administrators or policies.
2. Libraries are datasets with a dynamic structure, which size is forever changing. Libraries can be viewed as a
snapshot of fixed content information for a particular time period, from a particular source. Individual items
within libraries can be deleted.
3. Repositories are working data sets, which size is forever changing, these can be accessed many times and
individual items within repositories can be deleted.
GridBank Datasets Access Control Permissions

Each GridBank dataset type has default global access permissions assigned to it. Depending on the type of
dataset (archive, library or repository) it is created the respective default access control permissions are
assigned to it. The global access control permissions define what GridBank users can do with the different types
of datasets in GridBank. The global content access control permissions assigned to GridBank datasets are the
default ones and are automatically applied to every new dataset and are valid for all GridBank users. But these
default access control permissions can be changed individually for a selected dataset and for a selected user.
Individual access control permissions can be configured by the GridBank Master Administrator or by the dataset
owner. See the table below:
Global Access Policy Archive Library Repository
Read Content Yes Yes Yes
Write Content Yes Yes Yes
Modify Content No No Yes
Download Content Yes Yes Yes
Delete Content No Yes Yes
Search Content Yes Yes Yes
Modify Metadata Tags Yes Yes Yes
Add Metadata Tags Yes Yes Yes
Share Content Yes Yes Yes
Rename Folders No Yes Yes
Rename Dataset No Yes Yes
57
The following is a brief description of the default content access control permissions and what they mean for
GridBank users:
 Read Content – If this content access control permission is enabled for a dataset type (archives, libraries, or
repositories), then the users who have access to datasets of this type, will be able to browse their content.
For example, if you have your own library datasets and this access control permission is enabled, then you
will be able to browse within your library datasets and view what it is contained in them.
 Write Content - If this content access control permission is enabled for a dataset type (archives, libraries, or
repositories), then the users who have access to this dataset type will be able to add files to it and create
folders. For example, if you have created your own repositories, and this access control permission is
enabled, you will be able to upload files in them and also create folders to better organize your files (and also
add files to them).
 Modify Content – If this content access control permission is enabled for a dataset type (currently only for
repositories), then the users who have access to this dataset type will be able to modify the content of a file
contained in it. For example, if you have your own repositories, you will be able to modify the content of a file,
contained in your repository.
 Download Content -If this content access control permission is enabled for a dataset type (archives,
libraries or repositories), then the users who have access to this dataset type will be able to download (save)
files contained in it to their desired location. For example, you can select a file contained in your repository
and download it to a location on your computer if this content access control permission is enabled.
 Delete Content - If this content access control permission is enabled for a dataset type (libraries or
repositories), then the users who have access to this dataset type will be able to delete files and folders in it.
For example, if you have your own repositories, and if this content access control permission is enabled, you
will be able to delete files and folders in them.
 Search Content – If this content access control permission is enabled for a dataset type (archives, libraries
or repositories), then the users who have access to this dataset type will be able to search for files contained
in it. For example, if you have created your own archives, and this content access control permission is
enabled, you will be able to search for files contained in them.
 Modify Metadata Tags - If this content access control permission is enabled for a dataset type (archives,
libraries or repositories), then the users who have access to this dataset type will be able to modify already
existing tags of files contained in it. For example, if you have archives datasets and you have added tags to
the files in them, and this content access control permission is enabled, then you can change them whenever
you want.
 Add Metadata Tags – If this content access control permission is enabled for a dataset type (archives,
libraries or repositories), then the users who have access to this dataset type will be able to add tags to files
contained in it. For example, if you have library datasets and this content access control permission is
enabled, then you can add tags to the files contained in them whenever you want.
 Share Content - If this content access control permission is enabled for a dataset type (archives, libraries or
repositories), then the users who have access to this dataset type will be able to share it and its content. For
example, if you have a library dataset and this content access control permission is enabled for it, then you
can share it with other GridBank users.
 Rename Folders - If this content access control permission is enabled for a dataset type (currently only for
libraries or repositories), then the users who have access to this dataset type will be able to rename folders
within them. For example, if you have library datasets and by default this content access control permission is
enabled, then you can rename folders within them.
58
 Rename Dataset - If this content access control permission is enabled for a dataset type (currently only for
libraries or repositories), then the users who have access to this dataset type will be able to rename it. For
example, if you have your own repositories datasets and this content access control permission is enabled by
default, you will be able to change the names of your repositories.
Viewing File Tab Options

Managing Dataset File Metadata

Metadata is "data about data". The term is ambiguous, as it is used for two fundamentally different concepts
(types). Structural metadata is about the design and specification of data structures and is more properly called
"data about the containers of data". The descriptive metadata, on the other hand, is about individual instances of
application data, the data content. As information has become increasingly digital, metadata is also used to
describe digital data using metadata.
Viewing Dataset File Metadata

Viewing metadata helps you to reveal additional information about the datasets or files. For example, depending
on the data type, you may see additional properties such as name, description, date of creation, owner, length
and so on.

File Versioning Control

GridBank users are able to view previous versions of their files in GridBank Web Access. There are three
options for file versioning, which GridBank supports:
1. No versioning - files are overwritten and their old versions are not kept.
2. Conflict Resolution - the new version of a file does not overwrite the old file, but it is named in the following
format: “(Conflict-Date) Original File Name”. This way the original file is being preserved.
3. Version Management - files are overwritten, but all old versions are kept and only the newest file version is
displayed. GridBank users will be able to view and download previous versions of their modified files in
GridBank Web Access.
Version Management
The Version Management option displays only the newest version of a modified file, but all old versions of that
file are kept in GridBank and can be displayed if needed.
As a GridBank user, you will be able to view and download previous versions of your modified files in GridBank
Web Access.
The Version Management option must be enabled in GridBank, so that you will be able to view and manage
previous versions of your modified files. Consult with your GridBank Administrator, if you are unsure about the
file versioning method selected in GridBank.
To view a previous version of a file in GWA:

2. In the Files Tree View, expand any of the dataset nodes –Archives, Libraries or Repositories.
3. Under the expanded node, double-click the dataset name that contains the file you wish to view its previous
versions. Its content is loaded in the Display Panel.
4. In the Display Panel, right-click the file you wish to view its previous versions.
5. In the context menu that appears, click the Version History option to open the File Version History
window.

picture below:
The oldest file shown on the picture is actually the original file ingested in GridBank. And the file at the top of
the list is the most recent version of the file that contains all the modifications so far.
Downloading a Previous File Version
Downloading previous version of files is also possible in GWA. As GridBank keeps all your file versions and
enables you to access them from any client machine and at any time.
To download a previous file version:

2. In the Files Tree View, expand that node (Archives, Libraries or Repositories) that includes the dataset
which files you wish to examine.

at the bottom.
Note: To be able to download a previous version of a file in GridBank Web Access, Version
Management option must have been selected during the GridBank configuration.
Conflict Resolution
When the Conflict Resolution option during the GridBank configuration and a file is modified, the new version of
that file does not overwrite the old file, but it is saved in GridBank with a similar name: “Conflict-data Original File
Name”. This way the original file is preserved and both versions of the file (old and new) are displayed together.
They can be seen in GridBank Web Access as well.
To view all versions of a file:

2. In the Files Tree View, expand that node (Archives, Libraries or Repositories) that includes the dataset
which files you wish to examine.
4. In the Display Panel you will see the original file and its modifications. As the modifications of the file will be
named in the following way: “(Conflict - Date) Original File Name”.

been granted with content access control permissions (in the Management Console by the GridBank Master
Administrator), shared with you (in Desktop Agent, GWA or other GridBank application) or you have permissions
over a network share that have been used as a source for data migration in GridBank. Your Global Catalog does
not include datasets created by you. The Global Catalog node in the Files Tree View contains the following sub-
nodes:
 Archives –this sub node contains all archive datasets of users, sources and applications for which you have
been granted with content access control permissions in the Management Console or have been shared with
you in a GridBank application (Desktop Agent, GridBank Web Access, etc.).
 Libraries – this sub node contains all library datasets of users, sources and applications for which you have
been granted with content access control permissions in the Management Console or have been shared with
you in a GridBank application (Desktop Agent, GridBank Web Access, etc.).
 Repositories – this sub node contains all repository datasets of users, sources and applications for which
you have been granted with content access control permissions in the Management Console or have been
shared with you in a GridBank application (Desktop Agent, GridBank Web Access, etc.).
 Sources – contains all datasets created after a source migration policy configured to preserve the
permissions of the migrated files. In the case of GWA, these datasets appear in this sub node in your user
account in GWA, if you have permissions over this source (network share).
 Shared Folders – contains all dataset folders of other GridBank users that have been shared with you in a
GridBank application (Desktop Agent, GridBank Web Access, etc.).
138
To view files available in the Global Catalog:

2. In the Files Tree View, expand the Global Catalog node.
3. Under the Global Catalog, click on a sub-node – Archives, Libraries, Repositories, Sources or Shared
Folders. The selected sub-node content shows in the Display Panel.
4. In the Display Panel, double-click a dataset name to show its content.
139
Introducing GWA Security Option

GridBank Web Access allows sharing of datasets and folders between its users. GridBank users can share their
datasets and their content with other GridBank users or they can access shared with them datasets and their
content. As a GridBank user, you can not only access and work with your own datasets, but also access and
work with datasets of other GridBank users shared with you. But as a user, you need to know what you can do
with shared with you datasets and their content. To help you to identify the operations you are allowed to do on
shared with you datasets, GridBank Web Access incorporates Security option.
The Security option is intended to show the permissions granted over a dataset, folder or a file shared with a
GridBank user. You can use this option to view what you are allowed to do with a dataset (and its content) that
has been shared with you. The Security option helps you to identify what kind of operations you can perform on
shared with you dataset and its files. For example, you can check in Security option if you can add, delete or
modify files of a shared dataset. The Security can only be used as a reference for the permissions granted over
a shared dataset, folder or file to selected GridBank users. It does not allow modification of already granted
permissions.
Viewing the Permissions of a Shared with You Item

GWA Security option helps you to check what kind of operations you can perform on shared with you datasets
of other GridBank users. It can only be used as a reference and not for modification of already granted
permissions. For example, you can use Security option to view whether you can add, delete or modify files of a
dataset or folder shared with you. It is a convenient way to check what you can do with a shared with you
dataset and eliminates the need to contact the Administrator to provide you with this information.
To view your permissions over a shared dataset and its content:

2. To see the content of the Global Catalog node, do one of the following:
 Expand the Global Catalog node to show its sub-nodes in the Tree View.
 Click the Global Catalog node show its sub-nodes in the Display Panel.
3. Under the Global Catalog, click on a sub-node to show its content in the Display Panel.
4. In the Display Panel, select a dataset and right-click it.
5. From the context menu that appears, select the Security option to invoke the Security dialog box.
140
In the Security window you can see a list of users with whom the selected item (dataset, folder or a file) has
been shared. In this example, a library dataset named “Reports” has been shared automatically with
members of the Administrators group and with William Taylor a user selected by the dataset owner Betty
Wellman. The dataset owner Betty Wellman will automatically appear in the list.
To view your own permissions, select your name and your permissions will appear in the lower part of the
window.
Note: You can change the permissions you have been granted for both dataset and its content that is
shared with you. It can be done if you are the owner of the selected dataset or the GridBank Master
Administrator has allowed you to share the content of the selected dataset.
Performing a Quick Search in Files Tab

Quick search helps you to find shortly what you are generally looking for within datasets you view in GWA.
To perform a quick search in the Files tab:

2. In the Files Tree View, under the Global Catalog node, select the Quick Search sub-node. The quick
search option loads in the display panel on the right. See the picture below:

Appendix A: Glossary
Active Directory Authentication
Active Directory user authentication confirms the identity of any user trying to log on to a domain and lets users
access resources (such as data or applications) located anywhere on the network.
Administrators Working Mode
This GWA working mode enables members of the Administrators group to access and manage not only own
data, but also the data of all GridBank users, sources and applications. See also GridBank Working Modes.
Archive
GridBank archives are datasets that cannot be deleted except by administrators and policy management.
Archive use cases include retention for governance and regulatory requirements, reference Information stores,
legal hold, e-discovery and records management.
Briefcase
Briefcases in GridBank are used to keep files and emails from different datasets, mailbox and PST archives in
one place. Files and emails can be added, deleted or downloaded.
Dataset
It is a named collection of data that contains individual data units organized (formatted) in a specific GridBank-
prescribed way. Data ingested in GridBank is organized into the following dataset types: Archives, Libraries and
Repositories. As each dataset type in GridBank has different content access permissions.
Declare as Records
This is a controlled retention by a GridBank user who selects datasets or files to be retained and protected from
deletion. Datasets’ files which have been declared as records are protected from deletion and the user is the one
who decides whether they will be deleted or not.
E-Discovery and Auditors Working Mode
This GWA working mode enables members of E-Discovery and Auditors groups to access and manage not only
their own data, but also the data of all other GridBank users except for the data of the members of the
Administrators group. See also GridBank Working Modes.
187
Folder
GridBank Web Access folders store ingested files by GridBank users. They can be created within GridBank
libraries and repositories due to their default content access permissions.
Global Catalog
In GridBank, Global Catalog contains all users, sources and applications’ datasets to which the logged-in GWA
user has an access. Global Catalog does not contain the datasets created by the logged-in GWA user.
Grid
A grid is a group of servers and other resources which behave like a single system. The grid can comprise of
multiple computers, e.g. PCs or UNIX workstations, multiple storage devices and redundant interconnections, to
form what appears to users as a single highly available system. One of the main ideas of grid computing is that,
to the outside world, the grid appears to be a single system. Grids can be housed in the same physical location
(basic Realm) or can be distributed across multiple sites.
GWA Working Modes
GridBank Web Access offers a different set of operations to GridBank users depending on their group
membership and grant permissions. The default working modes GridBank Web Access allows are:
Administrators Working Mode, E-Discovery and Auditors Working Mode and Regular Users Working Mode.
Library
A library dataset contains files that user has saved to GridBank. Libraries are the equivalent of snapshots and
are static datasets that can be dynamically managed by users and applications. Library use cases include
snapshots of source data, application data in time such as video surveillance, document management system
snapshots, CMS (content management portals) and departmental intranets. Individual data items cannot be
deleted. Libraries are viewed as a dataset, which is a snapshot in time from a source.
Mailbox Archive
A GridBank archive dataset that stores ingested in GridBank emails of a user from an Exchange mail host. The
user whose emails will be stored in a mailbox archive needs to be an Active Directory user and must have been
imported in GridBank. Emails in GridBank mailbox archives cannot be deleted or modified.
Metadata
In GridBank, metadata contains information about the objects that have been ingested in its platform. Within
GridBank, file metadata is stored in a distributed asynchronous metadata repository called the Metabase.
GridBank allows the creation of custom metadata to provide further information for each file, which may be used
for improving search capabilities.
Pool
188
In GridBank, storage devices are logically combined to appear as a single contiguous logical large storage
volume, which forms the storage virtual pool. A storage pool in GridBank can be based on directly attached
storage, public or private cloud. Data ingested in GridBank is always associated with a storage pool.
PST Archive
A GridBank archive dataset that stores a PST file of a GridBank user. This PST file has been imported from a
source and stored in GridBank archive dataset. Emails in GridBank PST archives cannot be deleted, or
modified.
Regular Users Working Mode
This GWA working mode enables regular GridBank users (that are not members of any GridBank Predefined
user group) to access and manage only their own data. See also GridBank Working Modes.
Repository
Repositories are working datasets that can be deleted and managed by users, sources and applications.
Individual items can be deleted in repositories. The size of a repository changes over time. Repositories can be
accessed many times and individual items within repositories can be modified or deleted.
Source
In GridBank context, a SAN, iSCSI or Storage Server, containing unstructured data.
Tag
It is a non-hierarchical keywords or terms assigned to a piece of information. In GridBank context, tags are
applied to the ingested in GridBank files and email to describe their content. This way files and emails in
GridBank can be easily found by searching in GridBank Web Access using tags as a criterion. Tags in GridBank
can be specified by the item’s creator or by the Administrator in Management Console.
User Quota
This is the storage quota assigned to GridBank users which they can use for file upload.
