# Access to Own Documents
Allowing Access to Uploaded Documents
Aerofiler has a setting to allow users access to documents they have uploaded:
When "Read" is switched on, users will have Read access to any documents they have uploaded to the contract repository. When "Edit" is switched on, users will have Edit access to any documents they have uploaded to the contract repository.
### Allowing Access Where User Involved in Approval
Aerofiler has a setting to allow users access to documents where they have been involved in approval of a document:
When "Read" is switched on, users will have Read access to any documents they have initiated from an approval request. If the user is part of one or more teams, the user will also have Read access to any documents that the team has previously approved. The "Edit" switch works in a similar manner, granting edit access rather than read access.
### Allowing Access to Assigned Documents
The following video demonstrates how to enable access to documents by assigning them to a user:
