Advanced Permissions for Document Folders

At the time of publishing a Document Folder, you can enable advanced permissions for all recipients or if enhanced partner level capabilities are needed. By default, Download permission, Publish as Read-only permission, and Publish as Private permission are selected.

Note: If the Publish as Read-only box is unselected, the recipients will receive the file in its original/native format. There will not be an automatic PDF conversion.

Enabling Advanced Permissions

1. While publishing a Folder, click on the Advanced Permissions link as shown below.

2. Within the Advanced Permissions modal, you can assign or un-assign permissions to your Partners and click on the Next button.

Note: By default, the Download permission, Publish as Read-only, and Publish as Private permission are enabled.

3. As you review your permissions, you can send an optional email notification to your partners by selecting the corresponding checkbox. You also have the ability to include a customized email message along with the email notification. Click on the Send button to proceed.

Note: Each recipient will receive an email notification for the same.
