Layers Security

Security settings for Layers can be managed in an Administrative panel for Global layers or directly under specific Document object, for Local Layers.

Local Layers can be managed by owner or users with Edit rights to such layer.
For each local/private layer a user can select View&Edit permission to Users or Groups.

 

Rights for Global & Local Layers are assigned by selecting users or groups next to a User Right:
