I've setup an ItemType with Item level security. However I don't see
any way to set the security ACL for a document using one of the CM
clients. Is it possible to use a client to set the security of a
document? If not, how is item level security intended to be used?
Do you have to manipulate the security using the API or is there a way
to do it from a client?

Hi,

I don't believe any of the out-of-the box clients (Windows client or eClient, and WEBi) allow you to SET the item level ACL. The clients and API calls will, however, enforce any ACL's that exist on an item. You can use the API to set ACL for an item, the process for which is pretty well documented in the API documentation in the Information Center and in the samples provided in the samples folder of the installation.
