Access allows for the control of a group or members permissions to a page, document or file (documents, folders, forums, etc). To set an object's access click on the action button and select "Access" from the drop down.

Here you can choose which groups or individual members can view or alter the page, document or file.

Permission choices include:

• None: The specified community member or group cannot view or access the item.
• Read: The specified community member or group can view the item. If the item is a document, specified users can also download the item. If the Item is a blog or wiki, specified users can add comments.
• Write: The specified community member or group can modify the item but they cannot move, delete, change the access requirements for the item or view the item's audit trail.
• Full: The specified community member or group can perform all available actions on the item.
• Cascade: When "Cascade" is checked off the access level specified for that group will be carried down to all the sub-folders and other sub-items. This is a one time action across all files located in the folder. If a file is uploaded to this folder at a later time it will inherit the access rules of the folder, however if a file is moved or copied into the folder at a later date it will keep its access rules prior to the move or copy. Cascade can be selected from "Access" to again cascade the permissions to your newly added files.

• To set access levels to an object a user must have "Full" access themselves
• All administrators automatically have "Full" access
• By default any member who adds an item has full access to the file or folder added

Reminder: Permissions are inherited from a parent item -  if a member creates a folder they will automatically have Full access to everything put inside that folder unless access is specifically changed.

When assigning access you can search for groups or members. When on the members tab your search (located in the top right) will search groups, likewise when you are viewing members you may search for member names.
