Add Folder-Level Permissions to User Folders

Folder-level permissions are permissions that are applied directly to a folder. They add additional restrictions to the share permissions when the folder is shared. Note that whatever is more restrictive, folder-level or share permissions, apply. For more information, see Folder-Level Permissions.

From the Manage Users page, you can access a user's details and edit permissions that are applied directly to a folder.

To assign folder-level permissions to users' folders:

1. In the admin portal's left navigation panel, click Users.
2. On the Manage Users page, select a user, and then click the Edit icon .
3. On the User Details dialog box, click Manage Files.
   The Manage Files for <User> window opens.
   
4. Expand My Files and locate the folder that you want to set folder-level permissions for.
5. Click the Manage Access button in the folder's row.
   
   The Manage Folder Level Security dialog box opens. Any folder-level permissions that are already effective appear.
   Follow the steps below to assign and change user and group folder-level permissions. Users who do not appear on the list have all folder-level permissions to the folder (unless their group permissions are limited).
   

   A By default, Inherit is selected. If you select Don't Inherit, users do not inherit permissions from this folder's parent folder, and the lower Inherited Permissions section no longer appears.

   B Click Add User to add a user and limit their access to the folder, or click the Group tab and add a group.

   C In the top list of users, check or uncheck levels of permissions.
