Understanding the Different Types of Permission

Author-it allows you to apply security permissions to users or (more commonly) to groups of users. These security permissions come in two flavors:

• Folder Actions that apply to all the objects or object templates in a folder, of the specified type (for example, creating Style objects or editing Topic Template objects).
• Release States that apply to particular objects (for example, First Draft, Final Draft, Released, Archived - your organization gets to define those terms).
