In Lucanet Disclosure Management, you use document roles to assign permissions for individual documents. You use chapter roles to restrict the assignment to specific chapters. Among other things, the roles determine whether users can read, edit, or delete Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files.

In the Role Management of Lucanet Disclosure Management, you use predefined document and chapter roles to assign the following types of permissions:

  • Document-level permissions, e.g. read and write permissions for individual documents, chapters, periods and validations
  • Workflow-based permissions, e.g. file permissions and possible status changes depending on the chapter status

In Lucanet Disclosure Management, open the Document roles area in the Role Management for document roles or the Chapter roles area for chapter roles. Select a role to see its permissions and assigned users. The Document roles area is displayed as follows, for example:

Shows the 'Document roles' area in Lucanet Disclosure Management with the roles 'Document Administrator', 'Document Editor', 'Document Reader', and 'Document Quality Manager'. On the right, the 'Document Administrator Permissions' list is displayed.
The 'Document roles' area

In Lucanet Disclosure Management, the Role Permissions area shows the permissions of the selected document or chapter role. Permissions from global roles, document roles, and chapter roles add up. An additional role with read permissions does not restrict existing editing permissions from other roles.

In the Workflow-based permissions area, click the Info icon. For the selected workflow, the overview shows which file permissions and status changes the role allows in each chapter status.

The workflow-based permissions apply depending on the chapter status and can differ per file type. For more information on the meaning of the read, edit, and delete permissions, see Permissions for MS Office Files.

Workflow-based permissions for the Chapter Editor role

In Lucanet Disclosure Management, a chapter role applies by default only to the chapter it is assigned to. If a document has the Inherit chapter roles to sub-chapters option enabled in its document settings, the Chapter Reader and Chapter Editor roles assigned on a parent chapter also apply to all sub-chapters below it, across all levels — including sub-chapters that are created later.

Inherited and explicitly assigned roles accumulate: a user can hold an inherited role and an additional role assigned directly on the sub-chapter at the same time. Assignments that were made directly on a sub-chapter remain active when inheritance is enabled.

For more information about the option, see Configuring a Document.
