22.12 Modify Encrypted Document User Permissions

Clients with direct permission to modify encrypted document attributes and with user permission control enabled can modify user permissions via the Encryption tab in File Explorer or the scan tool, or by right-clicking and selecting Modify User Permissions.

In the Modify Permissions dialog:

The left panel displays the object search interface.The upper-right panel shows the current document’s objects, with the creator marked by an asterisk (*) and others as readers.Selecting an object displays its permissions for the document in the lower-right panel.

Only reader permissions can be modified; creator permissions cannot be changed. Modifications include adding or removing readers and adjusting their permissions.

Add or Remove Readers

Manage the readers of a document by adding or removing them.

Add Readers:

1. In the left User Structure tab, select the target objects, or use the Search tab to quickly locate them. Click Add >> to add the selected objects to the current reader list.

2. In the Custom Groups tab, click New Group to create a group and set its name.

• Select a group and click Add All to Group to include all current readers in the group.
• Select a group and click Import Users, enter user accounts separated by commas, semicolons, or new lines, and click OK to add multiple users to the group.

Group information is stored locally on the client. The group can be reused when modifying readers later. Custom groups support import and export.

Remove Readers

In the Current Readers view at the top-right, select the target objects and click << Remove to delete them from the reader list.

Click Clear to remove all current readers at once.

Modify User Permissions

Select a reader in the top-right panel to adjust their permissions. Click Copy to All to apply the selected reader’s permissions to all other readers.

Permission Templates

By default, Permission Templates are not displayed. Users granted Allow Selection of Permission Templates in the console under Directly Modify Encrypted Document Attributes -> Advanced Settings -> Template Settings can choose a template to set permissions for users within its scope.

If the user also has Allow Modifying User Permissions in Template, they can adjust specific permissions after selecting a template. These changes only affect the current document and are not saved to the template itself.
