When using Default Document Permissions in Chat Files, common questions usually involve where to find the setting, how the two management modes differ, and how permission levels and scopes work; this FAQ includes 4 common questions and a glossary.
FAQ
Where is the chat file management entry?
- Sign in to the enterprise admin console.
- Open Office Suite → WPS Collaboration → Chat File Management.
- Click the File Control tab to view the default authorization settings for cloud documents sent in chat.
What is the difference between member-managed authorization and enterprise-managed default authorization?
- Managed by enterprise members means members decide whether to authorize a document and which permission level to use when they send it.
- Enterprise-managed default authorization means administrators define the rule in advance.
- After enterprise-managed authorization is enabled, cloud documents sent in chat follow the unified rule automatically.
Which permission levels are available in default authorization?
- Open the default authorization configuration dialog.
- Open the Default Authorization drop-down list.
- Choose a permission level such as Can View, Can Comment, or Can Edit.
What is the difference between Current Members/Group Members and Enterprise Members in the authorization scope?
- Current Members/Group Members grants access only to the current chat participants or current group members.
- Enterprise Members grants access to a broader internal audience across the enterprise.
- If you need tighter control over document distribution, start with the smaller scope.
