Some document folders may include documents that only selected people should be able to access. Separate permissions can be defined for folders so as to allow these people to access them.
Own permissions can be set for these folders so that only people that should have access, have access to the documents in the folder.
1. To set own permissions for a folder create a new folder or edit an existing one. Fill in the check-box for This folder has its own permissions and click Set permissions.
Info: Only the person who is responsible for the folder, can set permissions for the folder.
Note: If users are members of several user groups that assign permissions in the document module, the permissions of the groups are summarised. Click Overwrite all other permissions, with the permissions set for this folder so that only members of the selected groups have access to documents in the folder.
2. Select the group with the members that should have access to the folder. If none of the groups is suitable, create a new one in the control panel.
Note: The members of the group selected here are granted the permissions set for the document folder. If you are not sure which group is suitable, you can find out who the members of the groups are in the control panel.
3. Click Enable permissions for this group and choose the permissions for the group. Click Save when you are finished.
Info: Multiple user groups can have different permissions in a document folder. To set up permissions for another group, select the group in the Select group field and choose the permissions for the group.
