Membership Permission

Membership permission settings of a site will only be accessible to the publisher/ owner of this site and they will be the only ones that will be able to change this settings.

Option 1. Membership Permission Panel

Option 2. Membership Permission on Account Settings

No matter which option we choose in terms of location, as we will be starting with only open documents, we will only need the permission type and the part of the public document settings.

Membership can be set to 3 states showed in a dropdown menu, we will be starting with 2 of them.
