Edit edition permissions
Contents
IMPORTANT: Pay a special attention on denials! If a user belongs to more groups, certain permissions may be denied on the level of another group and if the group has a higher priority of the one you're looking at, you won't see the denial, but it will be effective. Note also that denials may exist on the personal level too.
•For the Administrator group, select the Full control preset. •For the Everyone group, select the View preset. •For the page designers group select the Full Control preset. •For the users who are not supposed even to list editions, select the None preset. |

However, Read and RefRead are not sufficient to be able to edit the edition and its pages, except by users belonging to groups having the Default permission set (normally, only Administrators). To enable a group or a user to edit edition and its pages, typically, you need to grant all permissions but Place In and Send From (that make no sense for editions). |
