Working with Permissions Overview

Access to files and folders is determined by the permissions that have been set. Permissions can be set for no access, read only, change, or full access. This series of documents has been developed to introduce you to permissions and provide instructions on how to set and modify permissions for files and folders.

WARNING: If permissions are not set correctly, the ability to access documents will be at risk.
