Permissions (collaboration-core)

@ckeditor/ckeditor5-collaboration-core/src/permissions

class

The Permissions plugin manages permissions set for the local user.

Following is the list of all defined permissions:

  • document:write - modify the content of the document,
  • comment:write - create, edit and remove own comments,
  • comment:admin - remove comment threads created by other users (enables comment:write).

For example, a user with comment:write permission but with no document:write permission will be able to add comments but will not be able to change the document data (comments-only mode).

By default, all the permissions are set to enabled.

Permissions are handled separately for each channel id (for each editor instance and context instance).

See also the User permissions guide to learn how to use this plugin.
