Appendix D. About Sharing Privileges

This section explains sharing privileges within workgroups. Sharing privileges are set per workgroup and determine operation privileges related to book sharing and management within that workgroup.

Note: If you are using the dedicated server version, there are two different permission systems: "Account Permission" and "Sharing Privilege". For details, see A. Dedicated Server Administrator Guide.

Sharing Privilege Notes

Owner Privileges

• There can only be one owner
• Owner privileges cannot be delegated to other members
• The owner cannot be removed from the workgroup

Manage Sharing Privilege Restrictions

• Members with "Manage sharing privilege" cannot change workgroup settings
• Members with "Manage sharing privilege" cannot delete the workgroup
• Members with "Manage sharing privilege" can change other members' sharing privileges
• Members with "Manage sharing privilege" can remove themselves (leave)

With Sharing Privilege Restrictions

• Members with "With sharing privilege" cannot manage other members
• Members with "With sharing privilege" can only share their own books to the workgroup

No Sharing Privilege Restrictions

• Members with "No sharing privilege" cannot share books to the workgroup
• Members with "No sharing privilege" can view books shared to the workgroup

Relationship Between Account Permission and Sharing Privilege (Dedicated Server Version)

In the dedicated server version, organization-level Account Permission (Owner/Admin/Normal/No Export/Reader) and Sharing Privilege within workgroups are independent.

Examples

• A user with "Normal" account permission can have "Manage sharing privilege" in a specific workgroup
• Even a user with "Admin" account permission has no privileges in workgroups they haven't joined

Permission Priority

1. Account Permission (organization level) is checked first
2. Access rights to the workgroup are verified
3. Operations are permitted based on the sharing privilege within the workgroup
