# Annotations Permissions Showcase Demo Code Sample

Enable customization of user permissions to interact with annotations in the PDF file, completely client-side with three different levels of permissions: administrator, user, and read-only.

**Requirements**

*These packages are required to use these features in production. Trial keys have unlimited access to all features*

{% endhint %}

Enable customization of user permissions to interact with annotations in the PDF file, completely client-side with three different levels of permissions:

* Administrator
* User
* Read-Only

This demo lets you:

* Upload a PDF file and add user permissions
* Add permissions to users as administrator, user, or read-only
* Interact with annotations in the PDF file according to the set permission

**Implementation steps** To add annotations permissions capability to a PDF with WebViewer:

Step 1: Choose your [preferred web stack](/web/get-started/readme.md) Step 2: Add the ES6 JavaScript sample code provided in this guide

Once you generate your license key, it will automatically be included in your sample code below.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.apryse.com/web/get-started/samples/showcase-demo-annotation-permissions.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
