Spaces and permissions
How who-sees-what gets decided, and why it is worth deciding once.
A space groups a team's pages and databases.
It can be open — the whole organization sees it — or closed, and then only its members do.
Inheritance
Permissions flow down. If a page is in a closed space, its sub-pages are too, without repeating the decision on each one.
That is why it is worth deciding at the top: a decision taken once that keeps holding for everything created inside.
The four levels
| Level | Can |
|---|---|
| Full access | Everything, including sharing |
| Can edit | Change the content |
| Can comment | Read and comment |
| Can view | Read only |
People from outside
Someone who does not belong to the organization can be given one specific page. They see that page and nothing else: not the rest of the space, not the list of people, not the other tables.
They cannot re-share it either — widening access is a decision for someone who belongs to the organization.
