I think that Google got the permission system right with its Docs. The documents I work with are almost only technical documentation or meeting minutes on projects from customers, 95% text a few spreadsheets. I give editing permissions to the people I work with, view permission with the people I don&#x27;t want to edit the document. It&#x27;s not fine grained but I never needed more than that since I started using Docs in 2008.<p>On those projects we have designers who share their designs on Frontify or Invision. We only have the permission to view and comment. Even in this case is not fine grained, it&#x27;s on the whole page.<p>I think this covers the 99% of business cases and possibly more, furthermore page wide permissions are something people is familiar with (least surprise principle) and a degenerate case of fine grained ones.
