In Displayr, Administrators can set permissions at the account, folder, document, or page level. By default, your Home folder and any subsequent folders are set using your Account Settings. You can, however, configure access to, for example, set inherited permissions for a group of documents within a folder, or individually set them for each document, whereby any changes to users/user groups are taken into account immediately.
Requirements
- You must have a Paid Displayr License.
- Your Displayr account has been converted to a multi-user account.
- You must be assigned as an administrator on your account.
- Familiarity with User Group permissions. See How to Manage User Groups and Permissions in Displayr for more details.
