1. Log in to Pergamon and go to the Publications Hub by clicking Publications in the left navigation sidebar.
2. Locate and click on the Publication you want to manage.
3. Click Edit.

2. Access Publication Attributes:

1. In the Publication Attributes page, click on Access Control.

3. Configure Access Control:

1. Under the Access Control section, you’ll see the following options:
   1. General Access: Set the overall access level for the Publication (e.g., Full access, View only).
   2. Department Access: Specify access levels for specific departments (e.g., Full access, View only).
   3. Users: Assign individual users and define their permissions (e.g., Full access, View only).

4. Save Changes:

Tips for Managing Access Control

• Use General Access for broad permissions and Department/User Access for more granular control.
• Regularly review and update access permissions to ensure security and compliance.
• Ensure you have the necessary administrative permissions to modify access settings.

Publication Access Control Inheritance

1. Publications Hub
   If a Publication is created using the Publications Hub (via the + Add New Pub button), its access control is set to Restricted by default - General Access and Departmental Access.

2. Documents Hub
   If a Publication is created from the Documents Hub, it inherits the access control settings from the selected Document.

3. Automated Document Assembly (ADA)
   If a Publication is created using ADA, it inherits the access controls defined in the associated Blueprint.
