For any of your Documents, Presentations, Templates, pages of content, or Content, you can determine who does what by changing the privacy settings.

By default, Collaborate standard users cannot edit visibility settings, and their documents and Content are marked as Private. To change these settings, create a custom role and enable the permission “Allow the ability to make library items public.” This will default their documents and Content to the public and will allow them to edit visibility settings.

Visibility settings differ based on whether or not your account is using workgroups. If workgroups are not enabled, then you have two settings, Private and Public:

  • Private - You can see and edit the item, along with anybody designated as your Manager in the Conga Collaborate user hierarchy.
  • Public - Every user can see and edit.

If workgroups are enabled, then you have three settings:

  • Shared with no workgroups - You can see and edit the item, along with any user designated as your Manager in the Collaborate user hierarchy.
  • Shared with all workgroups - Every user can see and edit.
  • Shared with some workgroups - Users in the selected workgroups can see and edit, along with any user designated as your Manager in the Collaborate user hierarchy.
