Depending on your site settings, you can set security permissions when you add new folders, documents, or objects; when you publish a document; when you check in a document; or when you view the information page for an object. You can also assign a security policy to set security based on document state. To change the security on an object, you must have the appropriate access rights.
TIP Permissions are also called access rights and the terms are used interchangeably. A group of access rights is called an access level.
NOTE Your administrator can set a site preference to hide security pages when you add or check in documents or add folders. Default security is still applied to the document or folder even though you cannot view the security setting or identify its source.

Navigate to the Security Settings. This location might be accessed from a step in a wizard or from a security option of an information page. Review the existing list of users and groups and modify settings as needed.
NOTE The available permission levels depend on the type of object selected. For detailed information about permissions, see Manage security.
