Important notes
- When configuring permissions in EDocman, please remember:
- Access Level controls what users can see.
- Permissions control what users can do.
- A higher-level Denied permission can override lower-level Allowed settings.
- Always check the Calculated Setting to confirm the final permission result.
- Do not test restricted permissions using a Super User account. Use a normal test user instead.
