In this chapter we will explore the topic of **Access Control and Real-Time Document Collaboration**. These tools allow you to configure access permissions for other users and collaborate on spreadsheets in real time.

### **Configuring User Permissions**

**Editor**: Users with this role can edit the document's content. To assign the editing role, right-click on the document, select **Share**, enter the user's email address, and set their permissions to **Editor**.

**Viewer**: Users with this role can only view the document. To set viewer permissions, follow the same steps but select the **Viewer** role.

**Removing Access**: To revoke access for a specific user, open the sharing settings via **Share**, locate the user, and select **Remove**.

### **Tracking Real-Time Changes**

**Editing Indicators**: When someone makes changes, you'll see indicators (such as colored cursors) that show active users. This helps all collaborators stay aware of who is editing what in the document at any given moment.
