Setting Script Permissions

You can set permission levels for a script and specify a password to protect a script. Follow these steps.

1. In the Script Editor window, click File > Set Permissions.

The Set Permissions dialog box opens.

2. In the Permissions Level area, select the appropriate security level:
• Protected. The script can be run, but not viewed or edited.
• View only. The script can be viewed, but not edited.
• Unprotected. The script can be viewed and edited.
3. To secure a script, designate a password in the Security area.

Note: Use caution when setting passwords because they cannot be recovered.

4. Click OK.

The next time you click Insert > Script Editor > Edit Script, a Password Protected dialog box opens prompting for the password. Choose one of these options:

• To edit the script, enter the password and click OK.
• To view the script only, do not enter the password and click View.
