# What is Permissions?

The settings that decide who can see, edit or share each file, folder, channel or record. Good permissions give each person what their job needs and no more.

## In real work

The finance folder's permissions in SharePoint let the treasurer edit, board members view, and volunteers see nothing at all.

## How is this different from Googling it?

Google gives a definition. Prompthaus pairs each term with how it shows up in standups, PRs, prompts, and design reviews. Then it quizzes you until the word sticks. One term a day on iPhone.
