Managing Access and Permissions

Summary: Learn how to control document access and permissions to ensure data security and confidentiality.

In CloudDocs, managing access and permissions is crucial for maintaining data security and controlling document visibility. This article explains how to set up access controls and grant permissions to specific users.

  1. Setting Document Access Levels: Each document in CloudDocs can have different access levels: Private, Team, and Public. Private documents are visible only to the creator, Team documents can be accessed by authorized team members, and Public documents can be accessed by anyone with the link.

  2. Inviting Team Members: To share documents within your team, invite team members by adding their email addresses to the document's access list. You can choose between view-only or editing permissions for each team member.

  3. External Sharing Options: For sharing documents with external parties, generate shareable links with customizable access settings. Set expiration dates for links to ensure limited access.

  4. Advanced Permission Settings: CloudDocs offers advanced permission settings for fine-grained control. Define user roles with specific permissions, such as editors, reviewers, or viewers, to manage collaboration effectively.

  5. Monitoring Access and Audit Logs: Keep track of document access and actions by regularly reviewing the audit logs. The audit logs record user activities, providing valuable insights into document usage.
