permission

I have 3 levels of branches and then workarea

level1
level21 level22 level23
level321 level322 level323 level324 level325 level326
workarea1

level1 branch has 3 sub branches level21, level22 and level23
level21 subbranch has two sub branches level321 and level322
level321 has workarea1

1) To give editor access to workarea1, is it required to provide editor access to level21 and level321 ?

2) Is it possible not to provide any access to user at level21 and level321 and provide editor access at workarea1 ?

3) Is it possible to provide a user author or reviewer access at level21 and level321 and provide editor access at workarea1 ?

4) If user has editor access at level21 it doesnt mean that level22 and level23 will also have editor access, right ?

5) what is meant by granting permission at workarea level ? Because we have to grant permission at higher levels in hierarchy (unless it is possible not to grant permission at some middle levels as asked in question 2)

Pls explain these permission

Hi

Yes,it is possible to define permissions at Branch Level as well as at workarea Level for different user.It is quite possible for Level-1 a user has editor access and at other Level-2 he has author or some other access.

But point to remember is that if a user has Editor Access at Level-1(Parent Branch),then he will definitely has same access at Level-11,Level-12(Children Branch) because of the simple reason that Permission are being inherited by child from parent.

Same is the case with Branch and its Workarea.

In reply to your point-1,

No its not necessary to provide editor access to level21 and level321,in order to provide editor access to workarea1.Simply add an user to workarea with a role of editor(It doesn't means that having a editor access to workarea1 the user will have editor access to level21 and level 321).

So i think we should define permissions from bottom to higher,i mean to say that define permissions to workarea and then to branch as per requirement.

Similarly you can sort your remaining points.
