- See also: Permissions
The Edit Rights properties describe which users can access and edit the currently opened project.
Owner
The Owner is the user initially creating the project, often the e-mail address of the user.
The dropdown-listbox next to the user provides access to the parameters "Write" and "Read". This makes it possible to make your project read-only.
Other users in domain
Users are grouped inside a domain, a domain can consist, for example, out of people from the same organisation.
The dropdown-listbox next to the domain provides access to the parameters "None" and "Read" and "Write". This parameter controls if users inside your domain have access to the selected project and if they have read-only access, or can also write (save) the currently selected project.
Tygron Support
This parameter grants Tygron Support access to the project. By default the selected parameter is set to "None", so the project can not be viewed or changed by Tygron Support. If the selected parameter is set to "Read" or "Write", Tygron Support can respectively view and change the project data.
Tygron Support will only ask for access after a support request has been made. This is to better shield any proprietary data that your project may contain.
Keep Editor Session alive for one week after last user exit:
In most cases, an Editor Session is only alive when there are users connected to a session. Sometimes, you want a session to be active, without anyone being connected all the time. This means a user in a different timezone for example can join this active session. You don't have to keep your own computer connected to the session at all times in this way.
Versions
Versions assist users in saving different versions of a certain project, instead of having to save to a different filename every time.
The table displays a list of Versions available for this project. The table has 3 columns: Version, Text and Active. The "Version" column displays a linear number, the Text column displays the text as input by the user in the "Description" Field. The "Active" Column displays "Active" next to the Version row which is active.
The current project has 2 versions are available: 0 (Base Version) and a second version 1 with a date; This is an automatically generated name.

You can revert to an old version by closing the Project and switch versions in the Main Menu.
