Permissions


Permissions define the set of actions that users can perform with the data that is accessible to them (e.g. download, edit, view).

Permission Flags

User permissions are achieved through a set of fine-grained flags that team administrators can use to manage what actions users can perform with the data they can access. Permissions are divided into several categories of privileges that span actions at team level, image level, folder level, and file level.

All entries in the Repository that are detected as a supported image format are treated as an “Image” type and have dedicated permissions flags. All other entries in the Repository (e.g. reports, Figures, attachments) are treated as “Files” and also have dedicated permissions.
