Assigning Permission:
Permissions for facts are assigned when creating and/or editing content. After you have clicked on the "next>>" button in the Input mask, a group overview is opened, where you can specify the permissions. Here a pre-selection is offered to you, which you can accept directly, but you are not required to.
The preselection offered for the permissions is determined by your P-Admin.
General permissions
| read | Read-permitted groups can just read the corresponding fact, but they cannot edit or hide/delete it. |
| modify | The modify-permitted groups can create, edit and hide/delete the fact. |
Modify permitted groups are also automatically read permitted. I.e. creators don't have to add read-permission in this case. For all other additional permissions the read-permissions have to be checked, too.
Additional permissions in Forum:
A Forum has three levels: Forum Topics Postings. You have the possibility to limit the modification permissions for the second and/or third level.
| create topic | These groups can write only topics (2nd layer) and postings (3rd layer). |
| post | These groups can write only postings to the topics (3rd layer)
|
Additional permissions for folders:
| work | These groups can create facts and shortcuts in the folder, but they cannot modify the folder itself. |
Why permissions?
A well-thought permission system enables Platform Administrators and users to accurately control who is allowed to read or modify which information. For any details please read through: Functional hierarchy
