Google Sites offers stricter pag-level permissions

Google is giving users of its Google Sites service more control of who can view and edit their sites with the “page-level permissions" feature. Software engineer Eric Zhang said only site owners can enable the feature, which he said is turned off by default for new and existing sites. “Using page-level permissions, you can make some pages private for certain users while keeping other pages public for everyone to see. For instance, let’s say you have a Google Site that you’ve shared with your team and your manager. You can allow your team to see one set of pages, let your manager edit another set of pages, and keep yet another set of pages private for only you," Zhang said in a blog post. To turn on page-level permissions, site owners can go to More Actions > Sharing and Permissions, then click Enable page-level permissions. In the dialog box, they can click Turn on page-level permissions. Once the feature is enabled, site owners can have three options to choose from:

• allow a page to inherit all of your site-level permissions http://googledocs.blogspot.com/2011/08/better-control-in-google-sites-with.htmlelect to include future site-level changes to a page
• prevent a page from inheriting any future changes made at the site-level

“Using page-level permissions should give you greater control over who can edit and access your Google site," he said. — TJD, GMA News
