Adding a user or group to an object's access list is accomplished from the Edit Permissions page. This is available only with Manager access. A new object inherits its permission settings from its container when it is added. If the permissions of the container object change, the new permissions do not propagate to objects it contains. The Unify command on the container object's Permissions page provides a means to propagate a container's current permission settings to all of the objects it contains.
User groups provide a convenient way to manage permissions on objects.
A group can contain users and other groups. Assigning permissions to a related set of objects to a group allows you to edit only the group, and not all the objects, when needs change. The definition and management of groups is available in the DocuShare Community Registry. New content is added to an existing Collection, Calendar or Bulletin Board by selecting the desired type of object from the Add menu in its pull-down menu. Collection A general container object.
