RCA Security and Permissions

Question 1

What is the primary mechanism for controlling user access to specific features within a Relativity workspace?

Accepted Answer

Permission Groups

Answer

Permission Groups are the core unit for defining what users can see and do inside a Relativity workspace.

Question 2

Which permission category controls whether a user can view, add, edit, or delete specific object types in Relativity?

Accepted Answer

Object Security

Answer

Object Security governs CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) rights for each object type such as Documents, Saved Searches, and custom objects.

Question 3

When a user belongs to multiple Permission Groups in a Relativity workspace, how are conflicting permissions resolved?

Accepted Answer

The most permissive permissions apply (union of all groups)

Answer

Relativity uses an additive (union) model — if any Permission Group grants a right, the user has it regardless of other groups denying it.

Question 4

What does enabling 'Secure User Visibility' in a Relativity workspace accomplish?

Accepted Answer

Restricts users from seeing other users not in their Permission Groups

Answer

When Secure User Visibility is on, users can only see accounts of other users who share at least one Permission Group with them.
