Editing file permissions
Permissions on files can be edited within the repository, by right-clicking on a document within the document table on the right, and by selecting the 'Permissions' option. Selecting this option will open the 'Edit Permissions' window, which consists of the permissions table and the toolbar on the right.
The table contains columns that display permission data in the file: 'User / Group' (name of the user or group that has permission), 'Permission' and 'Inherited' - whether the permission is inherited.
Permits can be:
- 'Consumer' - has only the right to read, cannot create its own content.
- 'Coordinator' - has all permissions over the entire content of the site,what it has created itself and what other users of the site have created.
- 'Editor' - has the right to modify file data, check over files, cannot create its own content.
- 'Contributor' - has all permissions on the entire content of the site they own, has no right to edit or delete content created by other users of the site.
- 'Collaborator' -has all permissions on the entire content of the site they own, has the right to edit but not delete content created by other users of the site.
At the top of the window is a box to check 'Inherited permissions'. Placing a check mark within this box, in addition to all permissions set on the file, all inherited permissions will be displayed inside the table.
On the right is a toolbar that contains three buttons: 'Delete', 'Add User' and 'Add Group'.
Clicking the 'Delete' button, with the previously selected permission within the table, deletes that permission above the file. Before deleting, a dialog box will open in which we can confirm the deletion of the permission by pressing the 'Yes' button or reject by pressing the 'No' button.
Clicking on the 'Add User' button will open the 'Permission Form' window with the form for entering the permit.
The form consists of two fields - 'Permission', for selecting a permit and 'User', for selecting the user who will have that permit. Clicking the arrow to the right under 'User' opens the 'Select Users' window. The user selection window is described in the sub-chapter 'User selection window'. In the lower left corner of the window there are two buttons - 'Save' to set the entered permission and 'Cancel' to close the window without changes.
Clicking on the 'Add Group' button will open the 'Permission Form' window with the permit entry form.
The form consists of two fields - 'Permission' (to select a permit) and 'Group', to select a group of users who will have that permit. Clicking the arrow to the right under 'Group' opens the 'Select Groups' window. The user group selection window is described in the sub-chapter 'User group selection window'. In the lower left corner of the window there are two buttons - 'Save' to set the entered permission and 'Cancel' to close the window without changes.
