Document Update Rights

A user with minimum access will not generally be able to update documents routed to him or her.  However, other factors come into play with regard to updating a document.

  • A user who has been given permission to create documents of a particular Doc type (see General Document Capabilities) can also be given the capability to “own” all such documents through the DOC | Owns documents created, routed, global capability (see below).
  • A user who is given Collaborator status on a particular document can update that document while it is in his/her Inbox.
  • A user with a role that has been designated as a proxy for another user who has update permission for certain or all documents, will also be able to update those documents. (See below.)
  • A user given the U permission on the DOC | Permissions for any item on the document capability (see below) can update the Items on documents.

DOC | Owns documents created, routed, global (RUS)

  • R allows the user to update all parts of documents that he or she creates.
  • U allows the user to have ownership of documents that are routed to him/her if the user has Collaborator status.
  • S allows the user to update all parts of documents not created by the user.

DOC | Can be designated as another users proxy (RIS)

  • R allows the user (through a role) to be selected as a Proxy for another user on the Contact Detail window.
  • I allows a user who also has the CSTM | Internal Staff capability to proxy for any route that is
    • for a non-user Contact or
    • for a Contact without an Employee ID or
    • not web-routed
  • S allows the role to be a Proxy for all users.

DOC | Permissions for any item on the document (RUDS)

  • R allows the user to view Items on a document (in Grid view only) even if not a Collaborator.
  • U + D allow the user to delete Items even if not a Collaborator.
  • U + S allow the user to update Items even if not a Collaborator.
  • S allows the user to expand Items even if not a Collaborator.

Note: permission to add an Item is implied by other permissions on the document.
