Folder-Level Permissions

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 whichever is more restrictive, folder-level or share permissions, apply.

You can apply folder-level permissions to:

• a user's folders
• Team folders

You can also enable users to apply folder-level permissions to their folders.

It's important to understand what takes precedence when there are folder-level and share permissions on the same folder, and when sub-folders inherit the permissions of their parent folders. It's also necessary to know which permissions apply when a user and the user's group(s) have different permissions for the same folder.

It would be very difficult to work out how the different permissions interact each time there is an overlap, so FileCloud provides effective permissions calculators that show you which permissions apply in these situations. The different effective permissions calculators are explained in the topics in this section.

The topics in this section show you how to enable and apply folder-level permissions and explain which permissions take precedence when multiple permissions are applied.
