When you modify access levels of individual objects, this may have consequences for the final 'effective' access level of other objects. For example, when you set a publication to private, the effective access level of all objects belonging to that publication will be set to private as well.

On the other hand, when you edit the read access level of for example an attachment, and the new level is higher than that of the publication it belongs to, the actual read level of the publication is updated as well!

Note that the effective access levels are shown on the left; the access levels defined per individual object are shown on the right. Editing of access levels is done through the right column.

Unsure how the access levels turned out? The column on the left shows which objects are effectively accessible with what levels!

Example: Publication is 'intern'; attachment is 'intern'. SET attachment to 'public' → publication will become 'public' as well.

Example: Publication is 'intern'; attachment is 'intern'. SET publication to 'private' → attachment stays 'intern', but EFFECTIVE access level of attachment becomes 'private'. When you set the publication to 'intern' again, the effective access level of the attachment reverts to 'intern'.

Example: Attachment read is 'public', attachment edit is 'intern'. Set attachment read to 'private' → attachment edit will also change to 'private'.

Example: A publication has edit level 'intern'. You are not the owner. You change the edit level to 'private'. → Subsequently, you can no longer edit that publication :o)
