Add/Edit Page Permissions

Use the Add Page Permissions dialog to set permissions that control the level of interaction allowed for individual pages. Accessing this option requires administrative rights to the page. Assigning edit rights to a group or user enables the Work on this Page (All Changes) in the View menu in author mode. This dialog displays in edit mode, as shown below, for existing users or groups.

This dialog displays the following options.

User/Group: Displays the name of the user or group whose permissions you’re viewing or changing. CommonSpot displays email addresses for individual users.

Permissions: Displays the following standard CommonSpot options for controlling access to the current page or object:

Read: Grants permission to view, but not modify, the page.
History: Grants permission to review page versions and comment history.
Author: Grants permission to update and revise the page.
Edit: Grants permission to view and modify all page changes, to delete, copy, and move the page, to modify standard and custom properties, and to view or change security settings.
Design: Grants permission to view and modify template and element controls affecting page display and layout.
Style: Grants permission to view or change page styles.
Admin: Grants permission to delete, copy, and move the page, modify standard and custom properties, and view or change security settings.
No Rights: (Displays to users or admins with permission to exclude rights) Disables all rights to the page or object.
Approval: Displays approval roles set through Site Administration Approval Levels options. Select from the dropdown to optionally assign these explicit rights.

Grayed-out checkboxes indicate non-modifiable permissions enforced at the site or template level.

Select the appropriate options and click Save to set or change permissions, or Cancel to exit without saving.
