Why can’t I edit notebook entries when I have Write access to the Project?

Issue

A user with Write access to a Project cannot edit the Project's notebook entries created by others.

 

Environment

Notebook, Permissions

 

Cause

By default, the Write access policy in Benchling restricts users to editing the content of notebook entries that they are NOT the author of.

 

Resolution steps

  1. Navigate to your avatar at the bottom left corner and select Feature Settings.
  2. Go to Access Policies.
  3. Locate the Write access policy.
  4. Under Notebook entries, change "Edit other data" from Granted to author to Granted.

Alternatively, you can create a new access policy that allows editing of others' notebook entries if you do not want to change the default Write access policy.


If the Access Policies option is not available, it may not yet be enabled on your tenant. Please reach out to Benchling Support to enable this feature.
