Can team admin or account admin view the document?
Published:
By default, team and account administrators do not have access to view or download the contents of documents created by team members. They can only view document metadata for tracking purposes and access the document list of team members. However, the account owner can grant custom permissions that allow administrators to view and download document contents. This helps organizations maintain document privacy while providing access when required.

- Navigate to the
Users & Teamssection and selectCustom Permissions. - Click the
