Set permission to edit external contacts

This feature is available after applying for NAVER WORKS Core or WORKS Approval.

The first member to add a contact becomes the Contact Owner, who can set permissions for editing the contact.

The Contact Owner automatically has access to the contact, and cannot have the access taken away.

By setting permissions on editing a contact, you can prevent accidental editing or deletion of contact information.

The following are the permission types for editing a contact.

  • Enable editing: Anyone with access to the contact can edit freely.
  • Disable editing: Only the Contact Owner can edit the contact.
