Permissions interaction

Annotation and document permissions interaction

The annotation feature in Image Viewer allows users to add annotations to existing documents. In addition to the security defined for the document, security can be defined for each annotation item. Your administrator determines if the default security for an annotation is derived from the document object default security settings or if the default security for an annotation is derived from the annotation class default security settings. Your administrator defines classes and their default security settings.

The ability to add, edit, or delete an annotation is determined by the security for the document and the security for the annotation, as described in the following table.

Table 1. This table lists the functions that can be performed on a document and associated annotations.
Annotation Operation Document permission required Annotation permission required Resulting annotation permission
View annotation View Content View Content same
Add annotation Modify Content Not applicable Owner Control, plus inherited security from document
Edit annotation Modify Content Modify Content same
Delete annotation Modify Content Owner Control Not applicable
Change annotation security settings Modify Content Owner Control Set security settings
Note: Annotation security can prevent a user from deleting a document that the user has delete rights to. The user must have delete rights to all the annotations and delete rights to the document to be permitted to delete the document.
