A document object can refer to any Uniform Resource Locator (URL). This can be any document on the web, including Oracle Open Office software documents, or Adobe Acrobat software files. A document can also refer to a web application.
It is the user’s client device that actually fetches the URL and so firewall or other security measures might prevent a user from accessing a URL.
To create a document object, use the Administration Console or the tarantella object new_doc command.
In the Administration Console, the configuration settings for document objects are divided into a series of tabs.

Members of a group can be moved or renamed without affecting group membership.
Group objects can be added to the following tabs for an object.
Assigned Applications tab. Use this tab to assign a group of applications to a user profile, organizational unit, or organization object. The group members are shown recursively, but not the group itself. See Assigned Applications Tab.
