Permission

A permission is a specific right granted to a user or role on a specific resource. In Papyrus, permissions are atomic and additive — a user has the union of all permissions granted to them directly, via their roles, via their department, and via inheritance from parent folders.

The standard Papyrus permission set:

• View — see the document/folder exists; read its content
• Download — download the file
• Print — print (where printing is restricted)
• Edit — modify content or metadata
• Delete — soft-delete (and restore from recycle bin)
• Share — share internally or externally
• Comment — add comments and @mentions
• Approve — act on workflow tasks
• ManagePermissions — grant/revoke permissions to others

Permissions can be granted on individual documents, on folders (with inheritance), on workspaces, or at the tenant level (via roles).
