Other permissions

The terms parent rights and owner rights exist for historical reasons. These are actually permissions.

Parent rights

The parent rights are the permissions that are inherited from an element. Child entries in a folder can either be folders or documents. Child entries in a document can either be attachments or notes.

Example: Only the HR group has permission to a document. The Everyone group has permission to the notes in the document. Because only the HR group has access to the document, however, only those with read permission to the document can view the notes in the document, and not Everyone.

If a user or group has permissions to a document but does not have permissions to the document filing path, the document will show up in the results list following a search query or if a link is created.

Owner permissions

The owner rights are placeholders for the user that

• created a folder
• filed a document
• placed a stamp or any other annotation on a document
• started a workflow

Everyone

Ideally, there should be very few entries in the ELO repository that Everyone has full access to.

You can check whether your repository contains such an object in your role as administrator by setting up a dynamic folder in which all objects are displayed that permit full access to the Everyone group. To do so, create a folder with the following line on the Extra text tab:

!+ objects where objacl='75PYJA' and objstatus=0

Please note

The Everyone group needs read permissions to personal folders so that services can access them. If read permission for Everyone is removed, other users can no longer see the profile page of this user, for example.
