Permission Effective Rules

When a user performs an operation on a resource, RAGFlow evaluates permissions in the following order:

  1. Whether the user has formally joined the team that owns the resource.
  2. Whether the resource sharing scope allows team access.
  3. Whether the user has knowledge base-level, resource-level, or collaborator-level Read, Write, or Manage permission.
  4. Whether the target document has additional document-level Read, Write, or Manage permission requirements.
  5. Whether the current operation is allowed by the permission table for that resource type.

The resource owner always has all permissions. If a resource is set to Only me, only the owner can access it. If a resource is set to Team, only team members who meet the permission conditions can access it.

If finer-grained permissions exist, such as document-level permissions in a knowledge base, those permissions continue to apply on top of resource access permission.
