Entry Access Rights
Each operation on a document or folder has a set of required entry access rights. If the user attempting the action does not have the necessary rights, the user is denied permission to perform the operation. For some actions, the user must also have a particular volume access right. The Entry Access dialog box allows an administrator to view the explicitly assigned rights a user or group has on a document or folder, as well as assigned rights on the parent folders containing the entry.
| Entry Access Right | Abbreviation | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Annotate | Ann |
The ability to add, modify, and remove annotations (not including redactions)
on a document.
Adding and modifying redactions requires both this right and the See Through
Redactions right.
Implicitly grants the following right:
|
| Append Data | ADa |
The ability to add pages to a document or move existing pages into a document. If a document has not already been assigned text, this right grants the ability to generate the text of a document via OCR. It does not grant the ability to reorder or remove pages.
Implicitly grants the following right:
|
| Browse | Brs |
The ability to see if a document, folder, or shortcut exists in the folder browser.
Important: The Browse entry access right is not sufficient to open a folder or a document. The Read entry access right is also required. Attempting to a open a folder to which a user has been granted the Browse right, but not the Read right, will cause that folder to appear empty. Attempting to open a document to which a user has been granted the Browse right, but not the Read right, will generate an error message. |
