Assign permission:Permissions for facts are assigned when creating and/or editing content. After you have clicked on the "next>>" button in the input mask,
a group overview is opened, where you can specify the permissions. Here
a preselection is offered to you, which you can accept directly, but
you are not required to.
 
 
  Pre-selection: The preselection offered for the permissions is determined by your P-Admin.
If you create a fact in structure, the permissions of the folder will be suggested as permissions for the fact.
 
 General permissions
 
 
 
|  | read | Read-permitted groups can just read the corresponding fact, but they cannot edit or hide/delete it. |  |  | modify | The modify-permitted groups can create, edit and hide/delete the fact. |  
 Modify permitted groups are also automatically read permitted, i.e.
creators don't have to add read-permission in this case. For all other
additional permissions the read-permissions have to be checked, too.
 
 Additional permissions in Forum:
 A Forum has three levels:
Forum  Topics  Postings. You have the possibility to limit the
modification permissions for the second and/or third level.
 
 
 
|  | create topic | These groups can write only topics (2nd layer) and postings (3rd layer). |  |  | post | These groups can write only postings to the topics (3rd layer) |  
 Additional permissions for folders:
 
 
 
|  | work | These groups can create facts, shortcuts and subfolders in the folder, but they cannot modify the folder itself. |  
 
 
 Why permissions?
 A well thought-out permission system enables
Platform Administrators and users to accurately control who is allowed
to read or modify which information. For any details please read
through: Functional hierarchy
