Managing access in Legal Shelf
How do we determine who has access to a folder?
The system determines access based on user type. Legal Shelf has three user types:
- Administrators. The only users who can change other users’ access levels.
- Users. They can only invite guests and change guests’ access levels.
- Guests. They cannot change anyone else’s access level.
Depending on their type, Legal Shelf users can have three levels of access to a document or folder.
- No access. They cannot see the folder or document in their library, so they cannot open or edit it.
- Reader. They can view folders and open documents they have access to, but cannot edit document metadata or share folders.
- Editor. They can view and edit folders and documents they have access to.
How can I see who has access to a folder or document?
From the library, click the sharing icon to the right of the folder or document name to see who has access.
A folder listed in the library
A document listed in the library
In both cases, the sharing icon opens a sharing window. It shows which users have access and their permission levels. If you are allowed to change a user’s access, you can do so there.
