## Access permissions

* The Notion integration can create live previews of Eraser files that the preview creator has access to, including:
  * Team files (regardless of link sharing settings)
  * Private files
* The embed preview will load for anyone who has access to the Notion page
* The integration is installed on a per user basis. Any Notion teammate that wants to newly embed Eraser figure or files will also need to install the Eraser integration in Notion.
