A user who has permission to view a collection will be able to view the snapshot documents in the collection using the [collections global viewer](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/AHP/pages/650119475).

Snapshot documents in the collection will be viewable

- even if the user does not have Confluence view permission for the source document
- with ‘frozen’ dynamic content for source macros included in the source document

Links in the content will still be subject to the viewer permissions on the destination url.

## Confluence permissions for viewer

A user given viewer permission for a collection does not require any Confluence permissions on the Confluence source document to view the snapshot document.
