Overview

Whether you’re sharing internally, collaborating with a team, or publishing a document publicly, permissions help you maintain control.

DocuFast uses two layers of access control:

1. Shared link access

2. Workspace user roles

Understanding how these work helps you share confidently and avoid accidental exposure of information.

Access & Permission Control

Shared Link Access

Shared links determine who can open a document outside of workspace roles.

Private Access

When a document is set to Private access, the sharing link is not live. Only the document owner can view the guide.

Important to know:

• This is the safest option while editing or refining a document

Public Access

Anyone with the link can view a document with public access. No DocuFast account is required.

Important to know:

• Public access is view-only

• Viewers cannot edit or modify the document

• Anyone you send the link to can forward it

Workspace User Permissions

Workspace permissions apply only to users added to your DocuFast workspace. These roles define what each user can do.

Admins and Editors

Users with Admin or Editor access can:

• Create new documents

• Edit existing documents

Viewers

Users with Viewer access can:

• View documents shared within the workspace

However, they cannot create new or modify existing guides.
