How Permissions Work

Permissions in socra flow from Spaces down to Journeys and Socras. Each level can add access but not remove what a parent level grants. Understanding inheritance prevents permission gaps.

Permission Hierarchy

• Space membership grants baseline access to all content in the Space.
• Journey-level sharing adds access for non-Space members.
• Socra-level sharing adds access for individual items.
• A person’s effective permission is the highest role they hold at any level.

Inheritance Rules

• Space role applies to all Journeys and Socras within the Space.
• Sharing a Journey grants access to all Socras within that Journey.
• Sharing a Socra grants access to that Socra only.
• Item-level sharing never reduces Space-level access.
