"Show all properties" checkbox visible in webtop


Default setting in EMC Documentum 5.3 SP5 WebTop is that you cannot preview custom attributes of a file unless you are administrator.

To present webtop user option to edit custom attributes of a file, you have to make some changes to the webtop-s configuration files:
You have to edit attributes_dm_document_component.xml file. The file is located in:

\webapps\webtop\webcomponent\config\library\attributes\


Portion of XML, that you have to edit is presented here:

<!-- Enable show-all-attributes (for administrators) -->
<filter role='administrator'>
<enableShowAll>true</enableShowAll>
</filter>


Here we have edited portion of XML file. As you can see we deleted administrator and leave blank:


<!-- Enable show-all-attributes (for administrators) -->
<filter role=''>
<enableShowAll>true</enableShowAll>
</filter>
Now we can present custom attributes to the webtop user even if the user has no administrator rights.
