Sub folder permissions


Pete

Question

Hi,

Trying to set sub folder permissions (share) and Shared is grayed out, even though I am an admin.

File structure

Frog Drive>School Documents>Staff Docs (I can share this and Staff permission - Can View ; Admin - Can edit and manage)> Sub folder - I am unable to share and set permission level.

Any ideas???

Hi Pete,

This is expected behaviour.

In the School Documents, if you apply a share to the top level folder, you are unable to apply different share settings to the sub folders within it - they will all adhere to the top level's permissions.

This means you would have to create another top menu folder to include the files / folders you want to have different share settings on.

I'm surprised this hasn't been asked for before (on the forum or ideas portal), just had a quick trawl through the ideas portal and couldn't spot anything.

I would suggest raising an idea on there, and I and anyone else reading this that would like sub-folders to be able to overwrite the inherited permissions within School Documents can vote for it!
