Set Document Access
Explanation
Use this activity to set the document access on a document.
These access settings determine who can view or edit the document, and/or change the
document's access.
The
document access lines entered here have higher priority than the access set on
the object to which the document is connected.
Object
access lines can be added only by connecting a document to an object and cannot
be set using this activity.

set as the responsible person of the document revision and given administrator rights, but
you can define more administrators and also
transfer the ownership of the document revision. Documents that are released can be viewed but not edited.
