Permissions Tab - Section Dialog

This dialog contains permission settings that can be changed in order to enable or disable users' document permissions of a current section when Design Mode is locked.

Section permissions take precedence over document permissions. For example, modification of cell calculations may be prohibited in the document and permitted in a section within the document. In this case, only cell calculations within the confines of the section are modifiable. In addition, if sections are nested within sections, the larger section takes precedence.
