Based on the annotation rights assigned to a group, users can perform annotation related tasks like applying annotations, permanently saving annotations on a document, and showing or hiding annotations.

Add/Save Annotations: Allows users of the group to add and save annotations to a document. This can be set to either Edit/Delete to All Annotations or Edit/Delete Own Annotations. If the option is set to Edit/Delete Own Annotations, then only the user that creates the annotation can edit or delete it.

Burn In Annotations: Allows users of the group to use the Burn-In option in the Annotation tools. Burning in makes the annotation part of the actual document and cannot but undone. This right allows users to burn in all other user’s annotations (regardless of what Add/Save Annotation is set to).

Allow Temporary Annotations: Allows users of the group to add annotations to a document for the current session, but they are not allowed to save the annotations that are applied to the document.

Note: Another permission to be aware of when working with annotation is Locking Rights. This is configured on the Project Settings - Security tab. If partial document locking is enabled, users can annotate and save to the document, but will not be able to burn in the annotation. If full document locking or file locking rights are enabled, users will not be able to add any annotation to the document at all.
