Permissions on eZ DMS Folder

  • Read permissions (user groups allowed to read)
  • Edit permissions (user groups allowed to edit)
  • Admin perms (user groups allowed to unlock files)

Users with 'Edit' permissions can create a content within the eZ DMS Folder. They can also lock a file and unlock a file they locked themselves.
Users with 'Edit' permissions cannot break a lock on a file unless they created it themselves. This is reserved to users with 'Admin' permissions.

In the real world, group members will be granted 'Edit' permissions while group manager(s) will have the 'Admin' privileges.

Nota: The 'File editors' and 'File managers' of an eZ DMS File have no special permissions, they are users choosen (amongst the users that have the 'Edit' or the 'Admin' permissions) to be responsible for the file update.

Nota: The permissions are not given at the file level. Files inherit their permissions according to the eZ DMS Folder they are in.
