Assigning documents to the users
Use document assignment to assign documents to staff protection groups in the firm. Password protection must be in use before any documents get assigned to the protection group.
Document assignment in combination with password protection prevents users from creating, modifying, or deleting documents on the Document Manager to which they are not assigned. You can permit users to create, modify, or delete all documents on the Document Manager by assigning them to a protection group that has these access rights.
To prevent users from accessing documents on the Document Manager, assign them to a protection group with no Document access rights.
