Assign or remove read access to a document

You can assign or remove read access to documents for employees or groups.

By default, a document inherits the same read permissions as the case it belongs to. You can manually assign the same access codes as the case to the document and you can also assign additional access codes specifically for the document.

Inheritance of case access rights

There are important functional differences between inheriting access rights from the case and manually assigning the same access rights as the case to the document.

Inheriting case access rights: If the document inherits access rights from the case, users must be assigned all the same access rights as the case as well as any specifically assigned access rights to the document in order to access the document.
Manually assigning identical case access rights to the document: If the document is manually assigned the exact same access rights as the case in the Read access and Write access fields, users need only be assigned one of the access rights (case or document) to access the document.

Supplementary documents

A supplementary document inherits by default the same read permissions as its main document, if it has one but can be set up to inherit the case access codes. You can choose to use the same access codes as the case and the main document as well as assigning new access codes specifically for the supplementary document.

Note: If there is no defined read access to a document, it can be read by anyone.

In the Edit read access form, click the Create new access code button to display the Term access code and Organizational access code mandatory fields.
In the Term access code field, enter the name of the Term access code to locate the specific access code you want to assign to the case.
Click the Term access code field to open a complete list of the available access codes. In the list, select the code you want to assign to the case.
In the Organizational access code field, enter the name of the access code to locate the specific access code you want to assign to the case.
Click the Organizational access code field to open a complete list of the available access codes. In the list, select the code you want to assign to the case.
Repeat steps 2 to 4 to create a new access code group to assign to the document if required.
Click the Apply button to assign the selected access codes to the document.

¹ Select the Restricted by case check box to apply case read access codes to the document. Any new access codes you assign to the document will be in addition to the access codes from the case. See Inheritance of case access rights above.

² Select the Restricted by document check box to inherit the main document read access codes for the supplementary document. Any new access codes you assign to the supplementary document will be in addition to the access codes from the main document.

See Access codes for more information.

Assign or remove write access to a document

You can add or remove write access to documents for employees or groups. Only those employees and groups to whom you give write access can edit the document.

Inheritance of case access rights

There are important functional differences between inheriting access rights from the case and manually assigning the same access rights as the case to the document.

Inheriting case access rights: If the document inherits access rights from the case, users must be assigned all the same access rights as the case as well as any specifically assigned access rights to the document in order to access the document.
Manually assigning identical case access rights to the document: If the document is manually assigned the exact same access rights as the case in the Read access and Write access fields, users need only be assigned one of the access rights (case or document) to access the document.

Important: You must always have write access to the cases, documents or contacts for which you define write access.

Tip: Display a list of all users registered with read or write access on the document by displaying the Users with read access and Users with write access detail tabs on the document detail page.

Supplementary documents

A supplementary document inherits by default the same write permissions as its main document, if it has one but can be set up to inherit the case access codes. You can choose to use the same access codes as the case and the main document as well as assigning new access codes specifically for the supplementary document.

Note:

If there is no defined write access to a document, it can be edited by anyone.
You should always assign yourself write access to an item. If you do not, your changes to the write access cannot be saved.
