A new user has only the Connect right assigned by default and
belongs only to the PUBLIC group. The repository administrator can
grant additional rights to the user either directly or by adding her to other
groups.
Context
Note The rights a user or group receive when they become members of a group
(see
Adding Users and Groups to a Group) are cumulative. For
example, a user with the
Manage Branches right will not lose
this right when he becomes a member of a group that has only the
Freeze
Versions and
Lock Versions rights.
User rights are associated with document permissions (see Granting Access Permissions on Repository Items) to define the actions a user
can effectively perform on a document.
