Collections are an easy way to organize related documents across all your tools and any URL from the web by a single topic. When you want to use Collections as a source of truth on a particular topic, you may want to restrict which teammates can edit contents of that Collection. Here's how you can control who has edit access over a single Collection.
Who Can Change Permissions
Owners: Owners can add or remove other owners and editors, ensuring that the right people have the appropriate level of access.
The creator of a collection is automatically assigned as the Owner and has the ability to manage permissions.
The company's overall Collection Moderator has Owner rights to all Collections by default.
Editors: Editors can add or remove other editors from the Collection
Note: All Collections will always be viewable by the entire company. You can restrict any individual from viewing a specific Collection.
How to Change Permissions
If you're the an owner or editor of a Collection
Open the Collection: Navigate to the collection for which you want to change permissions.
Click the Share Button: Locate and click the Share button on the collection page.
Manage Permissions: In the sharing settings, you can:
Add individual owners and editors.
Change the permission level of the entire company from editors to viewers.
Remove access for specific users or departments.
New permissions are auto-saved. Click 'Done' to exit.
How Permissions on Child Collections Work
Child Collections (Collections created under a top parent Collection) automatically inherit the permissions of their parent Collection. This means:
Inherited Permissions: Any permissions set on the parent Collection will apply to the child Collection.
Adding Permissions: Owners and editors of the child Collection can add new editors or owners to the child collection.
Non-Removable Inherited Permissions: Inherited permissions cannot be removed from the child collection.
