Cascading Permissions

Set granular permissions for individual docs (and any docs nested below them.)
Dollar Banknote Cascading permissions are available for all our   paid plans⁠  . 

With cascading permissions, you are able to customize the permissions at each levels of the doc hierarchy. This allow you to keep everything in one place.

Which permissions you can set 

For each sub doc level, you can customize the main  ✍️⁠⁠Document permissions⁠ . Meaning
  • private/public
  • writer/reader
The admin role can only be set at the channel level.

Include sub docs (inheriting parent doc permissions)

Under the permissions list, there's a toggle to include nested docs with the doc you are sharing. When you include sub docs, they will inherit the permissions of the parent doc
Your docs will automatically inherit the permissions of the channel they are located in. You may then designate specific permissions.

For docs that are moved into a new channel, they will receive a combination of the custom permissions that were already set as well as the channel's permissions.


Shared with me

What if you want to share access to one document to someone who doesn't have access to the parent doc? This is possible. Just select the Share menu and start typing the name of the person.

The person will see the doc located in their Shared with me section at the bottom of the sidebar.
