What must you consider when designing guides in terms of user access?

When designing guides, it is essential to consider security and permissions to ensure that users have appropriate access to the information and functionalities they need. This involves defining roles and privileges for different user groups, enabling you to control who can view, edit, or manage specific data and features within the guides. Properly addressing security and permissions not only protects sensitive information but also enhances user experience by preventing unauthorized access and ensuring that users can only interact with the elements that are relevant to their roles.

While user interface design focuses on how users interact with the system and performance metrics assess the system’s efficiency, these aspects do not directly address the critical need for managing user access levels. Similarly, integration capabilities pertain to how well the guides can connect with other systems but do not encompass the requirements for securing data access within those guides. Thus, prioritizing security and permissions is foundational in creating a robust and reliable user access framework in guide design.
