The easiest way to start restricting articles to certain users is to create a Permission group.
Each user can have as many Permission groups as you'd like and you can assign multiple Permission groups to each article.
Creating a Permission Group
- Head to Settings > Users
- Click Groups in the top bar
- Click Create Group in the top right
- A popout will appear. Enter a name for the new permission group
- Click Save changes
Assigning Users to Permission Groups
Now you've got your Permission group set up you can start assigning it to users. There are two ways to assign a Permission Group to a user:
Owners and Administrators can't be assigned Permission Groups because they can see all articles
- Assign the Permission Group in Settings > Users > Members
- Assign the user group when inviting a new user
There are also two options for the type of Permissions you want to grant this user:
- Read-only: This will allow them to view the content included in this Permission Group but it won't let them edit the article:
- Full-access: This will allow the user to both view and edit the article.
Removing Permission Groups from Users
- Head to Settings > Users
- Select the user you'd like to edit
- Click Edit x User at the bottom of the user table
- Select the X on the permission group to delete it
- Click Save changes
Deleting Permission Groups
- Head to Settings > Users
- Click Groups
- Find the group
- Click ⋮ More > Delete on the group row
Only Permission Groups without members assigned can be deleted
