<h2>Setting up document permissions</h2>
By default, the message sender has edit permission, and all other chat members have read-only access to the file. Only the message sender can change it using the “Change access rights” button in the context menu.
<ul>
<li>In one-to-one chat, use the drop-down menu in the Access rights for the @user field.</li>
<li>In Group chat, use “Default access rights” to set the same access rights for all chat members.</li>
</ul>
To give access rights to a particular chat participant, enter his name in the search box and click “Add”. The username will appear in the list, where you can set the file access rights.
