Managing Permissions
Control who can access your shared documents and what they can do with them.
Understanding Share Permissions
When you share a document, you grant specific permissions:
| Level | View | Download | Re-share |
|---|---|---|---|
| View only | ✓ | ✗ | ✗ |
| View & Download | ✓ | ✓ | ✗ |
| Full access | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
Viewing Current Permissions
To see who has access to a document:
- Select the document
- Click the Share button or Info panel
- View the list of people with access
- See their permission level and when access was granted
Changing Permissions
To modify someone's access level:
- Open the share settings for the document
- Find the person whose permissions you want to change
- Click the permission dropdown
- Select the new permission level
- Changes take effect immediately
Revoking Access
To completely remove someone's access:
- Open the share settings
- Find the person to remove
- Click Remove or the trash icon
- Confirm the removal
The person will immediately lose access and any shared links they have will stop working.
Bulk Permission Changes
To change permissions for multiple documents:
- Select multiple documents
- Click Share > Manage Permissions
- Make changes that apply to all selected documents
Default Sharing Permissions
When creating a share, you set the permission level for each share individually. Admins can manage sharing access via the Shares tab within each matter.
Permission Inheritance
When sharing a folder:
- All documents in the folder inherit the share permissions
- New documents added to the folder are automatically shared
- You can override permissions for individual documents if needed
Audit Trail
Sharing activity can be reviewed from the Shares tab within a matter, where you can see all active shares, their recipients, and permission levels.
