How do I check on a user's permissions?

If you wish to check to see if a particular user or group have access to a Library, Folder or File you can browse to the object you wish to check and then go to the permissions page for that object.

To check for access on a:

• Library - from the Cog choose Library settings and then choose 'Permissions for this document library'
  
  
• Folder or File - with the file or folder selected click on the ellipse (...) and choose 'Manage access' then 'Advanced settings'
  You can get to this by clicking on the ellipse (look in the top right corner of the 'manage access' window)
  
  
  

This will take you to the Permissions properties for the object. 

The banner at the top of the Permissions window will display if the object is inherting permissions from it's parent. If this is the case you can click on 'Manage Parent' and view the permissions from the parent object.

To check the permissions of a user or group click on 'Check permissions' and enter the User or Group name and then 'check now'

You can also do the same check at Site level to see what access a user has.
