Access Control Considerations

Your tenant's organization structure also impacts how access controls for content are inherited. In Documoto, access controls have reverse inheritance. As such, access controls are set at the lowest organization ("child organization") in the organizational hierarchy. Those controls are then inherited upwards by the child organization's parent organization(s). Whereas, granting access at root or parent organization does not make the content accessible to any child organizations.
