What is an access control?
Access control offers enhanced document security by restricting access solely to specific visitors. This feature ensures risk-free sharing, particularly for documents made for internal use or with confidential contents.
Visitor experience
If a visitor without access attempts to open your document, they will see a notification message “You do not have permission” and will not be able to view the content.
