When creating a permission preset, there may generally 
be two kinds of situations:
Users have been established in the network and are on-

mission preset for a combination of the two situations 
above:

The next thing to do is to define the read and write permis-
sions for the added users:
9.In the Read and Write columns, the read and write 
permissions for each user can be specified. By default 
each added user has both read and write permission. If 
you don’t want a user to have read or write permission, 
make sure the corresponding column is unchecked by 
clicking in it.
Note that having write permission automatically means to also have read 
permission.

user(s) you want to share the project with.

“About the Default Permissions preset and the Guest user” on page 13). 
To select several users, hold down [Shift] or [Ctrl]/[Command] and click

Note that permission settings for separate tracks are not 
saved in a permission preset. You can however use per-
mission presets in conjunction with separate track permis-
sions, by first loading a preset with the project permissions 
(see “Loading a permission preset” on page 15) and then 
making settings for separate tracks.
ÖIt is also possible to make separate track permissions 
in the project Inspector. Selecting a track in the Track list, 
opening the Network section in the Inspector...

3.Activate the “Share Project” option.
The project is now shared and available to the users you have specified.
To revoke sharing of the project, deactivate the “Share

add or remove users and change permissions, and then 
update the shared project accordingly for all users by 
making the desired changes and clicking the “Commit” 
button.

the project folder for it should be located on your local hard 
disk, or – if you’re sharing the project over a LAN and have 
access to a common file...
