File and Folder Access

When you upload, create, or manage access to a file or folder, you identify who can read, write, and modify it. For more information, see System Role Permissions and File Library Access.

If you Allow Public Access, all accounts can view the file or folder, and administrators can write and modify it. Alternatively, you can identify specific organizations and accounts and assign Read, Write, or Modify access.

Files and folders inherit the permissions of the folder in which they are created. To simplify file management, we recommend setting access at the folder level, then uploading files and creating folders within it to inherit its access level. Otherwise, you must assign access to each file and folder separately.

Manage Access

If you have Modify access, you can identify who has access to read, write, and modify files and folders. Access is assigned as public, or to individual organizations, accounts, or roles, and is listed in the Manage Access window. For more information about access types, see File and Folder Access.
