Documents

Manage your electronic documents.

A document is a component in its own right, with the distinctive feature of having one or more contents. These are also known as files.


In order to restrict access to, or modifications of, a document’s content, a number of permissions are available to control possible operations:

  • Viewing content: READ_CONTENT
  • Adding content to a document: UPDATE_CONTENT and ADD_CONTENT
  • Deleting content from a document: DELETE_CONTENT
  • Downloading document content: DOWNLOAD_CONTENT
  • Enable printing in the viewer: PRINT
  • Viewing document content annotations: READ_ANNOTATION
  • Annotating document content: CREATE_ANNOTATION
  • Document composition: BUILD_NEW_DOCUMENT


Some actions are only available if the user has write access to the folder. To do this, he/she must have the UPDATE permission and have reserved the document (see Reservation).

  • Attaching the document to a folder: ATTACH
  • To delete the document/folder link, the DETACH permission is evaluated on the folder, not on the document
