External Users Access

Question

I am creating a vault for customers so they can send us documents through a vault that is marked for external customers. 
 If a user is marked 'external' will the user be able to save documents to the vault? 
 It says here that "External Users cannot see or access any documents other than those specifically marked for them." 
 Creating a User (m-files.com) 
 So if customers cannot see what is in the vault, will they at least be able to save to the vault? 
 Can I mark the permission to define the class as accessible to external users?

You need to explicitly allow these operations for external users by modifying the permission settings in the vault. For instance, you would need to allow external users to create documents in the object type settings (not allowed by default): 
 
 The object permissions need to also give access to external users where that is desired. The default permissions are "Full control for all internal users" so all the objects are hidden for external users unless you specifically allow it.
