Setting Permissions

In Willow360, permissions are set for individual workflows rather than globally. This allows for precise control over who can access and interact with each workflow. Here’s how you can manage permissions:

Who Can Use This Workflow: In the workflow editor, you can specify which users or teams can use the workflow. This option ensures that only authorized personnel can initiate or interact with the workflow.

Can Use Workflow: Grants the ability to use the workflow.
Can See All Files: Allows users to view all files associated with the workflow.
Can Edit Workflow: Provides permission to modify the workflow.

To restrict access, you can specify a user or team and omit all three options, effectively denying access to the workflow.

Conclusion

Each role is designed to ensure that users have the appropriate level of access and responsibility, promoting efficiency, security, and compliance. By assigning the right roles to the right people and managing permissions at the workflow level, organizations can maximize the benefits of Willow360 and streamline their operations.
