How to Set Per-User Document Permissions

Learn how to override your organization's default document permissions for individual users. This guide is for administrators.

Accessing user document permissions

1. Go to Users in the navigation menu.
2. Open the user's profile.
3. Go to the Document Permissions tab.

What you can configure

For each permission type (Print, Download, Annotate), you can set one of three options:

• Always allow — this user always has this permission, regardless of the company default
• Never allow — this user never has this permission, regardless of the company default
• Follow Organization Setting — this user follows whatever the organization-wide setting is

When to use this

• Restricting a specific user: Set a permission to "Never" for users who should not be able to download or print sensitive documents.
• Granting an exception: Set a permission to "Always" for a user who needs access even when the company default disables it.
