Accessing Files or Folders

Explore Repository file permissions determine who has access to files and folders and which operations they can perform. You obtain access to an item as a user, as a group member, or through a role given to you by the Service Administrator. The level at which you can access items and perform tasks is called access privilege.

Access to repository items is controlled by the document owner. Access to operations, such as importing or updating document POV, is controlled through roles.

When you import a file, you become the file owner, and you specify the access level of other users. You might specify that all users can read the file, your group can modify the file, and only you can delete, change access for, and move the file.

Tip:

When equivalent permissions conflict with each other, the permission that grants lesser access takes precedence.
