Although BIC provides application-level security, the BIC applications rely on the integrated Windows file system security to control access to application and project data in SDP, DAT, and WDC files.
BIC uses a combination of shared and file and directory permissions to control the access of users, groups, and applications to directories and files.
The following table lists the available file permissions.
