Permissions Working Group
The Permissions Working Group was formed in June 2023 to collaborate on the testing, defining, and documenting of Evergreen permissions. Everyone is welcome to participate, and all skill sets and staff roles are encouraged! The end goal is to gain a comprehensive understanding of how permissions work and to discuss best practices for determining user permission groups.
The group meets on the fourth Tuesday of each month at 3 p.m. EST.
