Hi all,
I hope you all are doing well. I was looking at Management -> Users and Everyone.
Currently this is how I have it for a test account(provisioned with a participant license) and Everyone.
Based on this, users can view documents in the repository. I cannot find where it states whether Rights for Everyone or for a specific user, override the rights that a participant license gets.
I would like to get clarification on what Rights a participant license gets when accessing the repository.
I was testing it at the Everyone and User rights levels(I have Scan, Import, and Search checked) and with a participant license the user can still download, share, print and generate report.
I've also tried to give more rights to my test account and it doesn't get access to edit text, move entries, or delete them.
Any insight would be appreciated!

On-Prem: Does a participant license override all rights provisioned in Laserfiche Repository
Answer
Hi Jasciel,
One thing to keep in mind is that a participant license only grants a user read-only access to the repository. So despite being granted access to do things like import, scan, or delete, the participant license will supersede those rights.

There are a few things that dictate what a use is able to do.
Application (Web Client vs. Web Link)
Web Client has the ability to allow someone to edit, create, modify.
WebLink is always read-only.
License Type
If a user is assigned a Participant license, they will only have read-only access to a repository, no matter what rights or privileges you give them in the repository.
Everyone Group
The settings for the everyone group apply to all users but can be overridden by settings applied directly to a user, unless a deny is exclusively applied.
I hope this helps.
Hi Alexander and Blake,
Thank you both for clarifying. By chance, is there a way to remove the rights to download/share folders and files but allow the ability to print?
The feature right to export allows the user to download. The feature right to print is in your screenshot. If you haven't already, you need to remove those feature rights for "Everyone" and create a repository group that these users are members of that grants only the rights that they need to the folders you want them to be able to access.
I see, thanks!!! I think I didn't log out when I was testing what each one did. The changes don't occur or don't seem to occur until the account has been signed out and then signed back in.
