Access permission priority

Priority levels:

  1. Objects hierarchy (folders and files). Shared access objects can have two types of permissions: direct and inherited. If the nested object:
  • has direct permissions, they take precedence over inherited permissions.
  • If direct permissions are not established, then inherited permissions apply to such an object.
  1. Profile. Permissions to shared objects can be granted to individual users and/or a group of users. Thus, a user can have personal user permission to the same object, as well as the permissions of the group to which the user belongs. However:
  • If the user has personal access permissions granted to them for an individual user, they take permission precedence over the access permissions granted to the group.
  • If the user does not have personal access permissions, but the user belongs to several groups with different types of permissions, then the user will get access with a higher type of permissions.
  1. Type of access permissions. The following types of permissions can be granted to objects: Owner, Manage, Edit, Comment, View, Access denied.
  • The Owner permission of access takes permission precedence over the permission Access denied.
  • Access denied permission takes precedence over the permission Manage.
  • Manage permission takes precedence over the Edit permission.
  • Edit access permission takes precedence over the Comment permission.
  • Comment access permission takes precedence over the View permission.
