In case the project has Q&A set up and activated, an additional section is present in Permissions – Q&A attachments.
Q&A attachments are the files attached to questions, answers, or comments in Q&A.
💡 These permissions are set only for external documents uploaded from user’s computer. Existing project documents linked to messages have their own permissions depending on the user group.
Question side
On the question side, users are grouped in question teams that are set up in Q&A. View permission is set by default for all teams and can be adjusted as needed.
💡 The user who attached the file will always be able to download the original file, regardless of their permissions to Q&A attachments.
Answer side
On the answer side, permissions are set by roles. The list of roles, present in permissions, depends on the selected roles in the Q&A workflow.
Experts and answer approvers have View permission by default, but it can be changed if needed.
Answer coordinators have full access to all attachments and their permissions cannot be changed.
💡 Answer coordinators that are also project administrators can delete any attachment in Q&A threads.
