Default Excel Server Protection

I was wondering if someone can help me. I want to put an excel document on my
companys server, so 3 allocated people can edit anything in it while
everyone else can view it, but cannot change any of the details in it.

Is it possible for this to be done?

Many Thanks

Tom

Default Excel Server Protection

Hi Tom,

you can use a password for edtion and recomend the ready only for all users
except for the 3 that could chage information on you document, also you
should shared workbook, in order to the users can edit at the same time.

I hope this help.

Default Excel Server Protection

You can control read/write access at the network level and let the network
administrator grant access rights as needed.

I believe it would be easier to a manage this way than applying different
levels of protection at the file level. Office passwords can easily be
circumvented by utilities that break passwords for the various Office
products, some of which are free.

Hope this helps.
