Enabling Access to MEG Docs

MEG Docs is disabled by default and has to be enabled for institution or group by creating a MegDocsConfig object with the following minimal config:

{
  "enabled": true
}

Enabling Access to MEG Docs

Individual users need to have megdocs.view_document permission to access the document management system. This grants them access to all root level documents within the institutions they are a part of.

Note

User may still be able to access documents even without access to the root folder. FolderPermissionRule can grant a user access to a folder without granting access to the root directory.

Access to folders

Access to individual folders is controlled by FolderPermissionRule model. It allows you to specify which users or teams can access documents within the folders, and set permissions to specify which operations they can carry out on the contents of the folder.

Permission cache

Users permissions to documents and folders are compiled into a cache that helps optimize DMS performance to acceptable levels. This can introduce a delay after a user or document is added, or permission changed until the permission cache becomes effective.
