Permission levels are specific permissions for content types and administrative roles
grouped into one. The application includes several
standard permission levels, and you can create your own custom ones. When you assign permissions
to groups for access to a space, you should assign levels, and then customize as needed
with overrides for particular users.
When working with space permissions, you can assign access to the space as a whole, or assign access to
particular kinds of content in the space by creating a Custom
permission level.
- Standard permission levels
- Capture how users can access space features at a high level,
each bundling fine-grained access to content or administrative roles along a
particular theme. The application comes with several predefined levels designed to
reflect common roles, including a space administrator, a moderator, a user who can
only view content, and so on. See the section on standard permission levels for more
on included levels. You can also create your own levels.
- Custom permission levels and User Overrides
- Bundle fine-grained access to a particular content
type. You use content-based permissions when creating your own permission level or
overriding permissions for a certain user. For example, you might create a custom
level in which people can create new discussion posts, but only comment on documents
(rather than create them).
Note: Projects inherit the permissions of the space that contain them. Social groups, on
the other hand, are independent of spaces and projects. For more, see
Managing Social Group Permissions.
