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
