Recipients of shared items, either folder(s) or individual items, can have three possible permissions. This article explains each of the permissions.
Editor
- Most powerful permission
- Users can see all fields and change all fields.
- Users can add new items to the share.
- All changes by an editor are sent to all recipients directly. Changes do not need to go through the share owner.
Read-only / Password Visible.
- Users can see the password and all other fields on an item.
- The user cannot change any fields on the item or the share.
Read-only / Password not visible.
- Most restrictive permission
- Users cannot see the password but can log in to a site.
- The user cannot change any fields on the item.
🚧 Important note on "Read only / Password not visible"
"Read only - password not visible" does not block the recipient from accessing the password. This permission blocks the recipient from accessing the password in the Password Boss application. Once the password is entered into a website, Password Boss can no longer prevent a user from retrieving the password directly from the webpage.
