Title: Visibility

Determining the Visibility of an Article

The Visibility window shows who can read an article. The visibility of an article is governed by four factors:

Access permission: Articles can only be seen by users who have access permission to the project in which an article is posted. Access permission does allow read permission, it only makes it possible. If a user has Access permission, then their ability to see an article is governed by the following three factors:
Read permission: Articles are visible to all people with Overview of the Space ACL Editor permission in the project to which an article was posted.
Read Own Articles permission: Articles are visible to the person who posted the article if that person has been granted Overview of the Space ACL Editor permission in the project.
Cross project labeling: When an article is labeled with a label from another project, the article becomes visible to the readers of that project as well.

The article below is posted to the Executive project. However, it has an FYI label from the Engineering project. The Visibility link appears in the article tools in the right column of the single-article view.

Clicking this link opens the Visibility window for the article. You can see that user named admin can read this article based on their permission to the Executive project. Because the article is cross-labeled to the Engineering project, you can see that Visitor can also read the article based on their ability to read the Engineering project.

Hiding and Showing Duplicates

If a user has read permissions in more than one project appearing in the Visibility window, the user is normally listed only once, in the first place that grants that user visibility. If you wish to show all places a user is listed, you can click the Show Duplicates link.
