Resource Permissions

From ResourceSpace Documentation Wiki

There are four access modes that can be set on resources:

• Open (everyone can see and download)

• Restricted (everyone can see but cannot download, except admin)

• Confidential (nobody can see except admin)

• Custom - you can set any of the above statuses for specific user groups, so different groups have different levels of access to the resources. Note: in many cases using the 'search filter' property of user groups will be easier to set up and manage.

It is also possible to use predefined filters, set on the user group record, to determine a group's access based on metadata in addition to the above access modes. For example, the ability to set that a given group can only access resources where the country is 'Africa'.
