# Understanding Access Permissions

> Learn about the access permission structure for documents and folders.

## Folder-Based Permission Structure

In FeatPaper, **document access permissions follow the permissions of the folder the document belongs to.** Individual permission settings per document are not currently supported. Team members invited to a folder can access all documents within that folder.

| Structure              | Description                                                                                  |
| ---------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Folder permissions** | Team members invited to a folder can access all documents within it.                         |
| **Subfolders**         | Subfolders inherit the permissions of their parent folder.                                   |
| **Moving documents**   | When a document is moved to another folder, the permissions of the destination folder apply. |

<Warning>
  When you move a document or folder, the access permissions from the original folder are removed and the permissions of the new folder apply. Review the impact of permission changes before moving.
</Warning>

## Folder Permission Types

Two permission levels can be assigned to team members invited to a folder.

| Feature                       | Viewer | Admin |
| ----------------------------- | :----: | :---: |
| View documents in folder      |    O   |   O   |
| Upload and edit documents     |    X   |   O   |
| Upload new versions           |    X   |   O   |
| Create share links            |    X   |   O   |
| Invite team members to folder |    X   |   O   |

## Share Links and Access Permissions

Sharing documents externally via share links is separate from folder access permissions.

* **Share links**: Anyone with the link can view the document. (Lead capture forms can be configured.)
* **Folder permissions**: Controls the scope of dashboard access for team members within the workspace.

## Per-Document Access Control (Coming Soon)

<Note>
  A feature to restrict document viewers per document is under development. Both **whitelist** (allow only specific users) and **blacklist** (block specific users) methods will be supported, and can be configured from the **Settings panel** on the document detail page.
