Security Basics
Access to a Box is based on:
Global roles defined in App Administration (application access settings - if a user isn't added to the App itself, they won't be able to access any Boxes because they won't even see the App's tab at the top)
Default roles specified for a Box type
Roles configured for an individual Box
Roles inherited from upper-level Boxes
