Permissions

HedgeDoc 1.x uses a basic permission system that differentiates between the owner of a note (the account who initially created it), logged-in users and guests.

It is possible to change the access permission of a note through the little button on the top right of the view pane in the editor. However, only the note owner can change the permission of a note.

The permissions are named Freely, Editable, Limited, Locked, Protected and Private.

You can configure the default permission for new notes using the defaultPermission option in the config.json file or CMD_DEFAULT_PERMISSION environment variable.

For more information, see the configuration documentation.
