Better control in Google Sites with page-level permissions
Thursday, August 18, 2011
(Cross-posted from the
Google Docs Blog
.)
Today we’re introducing page-level permissions, a new feature that will allow you to control who can view and edit your Google Site on a page by page basis.
Using page-level permissions, you can make some pages private for certain users while keeping other pages public for everyone to see. For instance, let’s say you have a Google Site that you’ve shared with your team and your manager. You can allow your team to see one set of pages, let your manager edit another set of pages, and keep yet another set of pages private for only you.
Only site owners have the ability to enable this feature, which is turned off by default for new and existing sites. To turn on page-level permissions, go to
More Actions > Sharing and Permissions
.
From there, click
Enable page-level permissions
. Then, in the dialog box, click
Turn on page-level permissions
.
Once page-level permissions is enabled, you’ll have
three options to choose from
:
allow a page to inherit all of your site-level permissions
elect to include future site-level changes to a page
prevent a page from inheriting any future changes made at the site-level
Using page-level permissions should give you greater control over who can edit and access your Google site. To learn more about setting page-level permissions, take a look at our
getting started guide
