How to Set Account Permissions
Cloud Version
In the cloud version, organization-level account permissions are automatically set when the account is created.
Note: The Accounts tab is not displayed in the cloud version. Permissions within workgroups (Sharing Privileges) are set when inviting members.
Dedicated Server Version
In the dedicated server version, you can set account permissions for each user in the Accounts tab.
- Select the target user in the account list
- Open the edit dialog
- Select the account permission
- Save
Relationship Between Account Permission and Sharing Privilege
Handbook X Coordinator has two different permission systems: Account Permission and Sharing Privilege.
| Item | Account Permission | Sharing Privilege |
|---|---|---|
| Scope | Entire organization | Within workgroup |
| Setting Location | Accounts tab (Dedicated server version) | Workgroup member management |
| Main Purpose | Access control to system features | Book sharing and content management |
Examples
- A user with "Normal" account permission can act as "Manage sharing privilege" in a specific workgroup
- Even a user with "Admin" account permission cannot access workgroups they haven't joined
For details, see D. About Sharing Privileges.
