Overview
Typically a members permission level is set on a project-by-project basis. This
can be accomplished through an individual project membership or group
membership. Once a member has permission to a project then he or she has
access to everything contained within that project, at that particular permission
level.
NOTE It is possible for members to have multiple permissions to the same project.
This can occur if the member is given permission to the project as an individual
and as a member of a group. It is important to understand how a member can
access a project when he or she has multiple permissions. If not paying attention,
you can mistakenly give a member access to a project at a level that you do not
want
Permissions in Buzzsaw are inherited. This means that if a member is granted
View permission to a project then that member will have View permission to
every subfolder, sub-project, and file added to the highest level project. When
new folders and project files are added, the member automatically has access
to the new item according to the permission level you assigned at the higher
level (this is true for every permission level except List, which does not inherit
downward through the project hierarchy). A member's level of access can be
changed at anytime to a particular item.
When used in conjunction with other features, permissions can be a powerful
tool. For example, if members of a private group are assigned the deposit
permission, members can add documents while maintaining confidentiality.
See
Private and Hidden Groups (page 128) for more information.
You can lock the permissions for a project, folder or file. This prevents
permission levels from changing even if the permission levels are changed
elsewhere in the project. The locked item is skipped, and the permission set
remains unchanged. See
Locking and Unlocking Permission Sets (page 138) for
more information.
Understanding Permission Level Definitions
Project members can be assigned different permission levels at the project,
folder, or file level.

contents or edit them. This permission level is assigned so
