This article helps you understand how to view the permissions on your Asite project folder.

Updated yesterday

Users on Asite can view permissions on the folders accessible to them. Below are the steps to view permissions on a folder:

1. Right-click on the parent folder or subfolder.


2. Click the 'View Folder Permission' option to view the folder permission of the selected folder.

3. Clicking 'View Folder Permission', the files listing page will populate a layered page with a 'Folder Permission' window.

Below is a description of the available folder permissions for your reference:

No Access

Selected users or users in selected project roles won't have access.

View Only

Selected users or users in selected project roles can view files only (cannot download).

View & Download

Selected users or users in selected project roles can view and download existing files. The file download will be subject to the user's role privilege to download files.

View & Link

Selected users or users in selected project roles can view existing files and link them to folders in the same or other projects.


Publish

Selected users or users in selected project roles can view existing files and publish new files (including files on placeholders).


Publish & Link

Selected users or users in selected project roles can view existing files, publish new files (including files on placeholders), and link them to folders in the same or other projects.

Admin

Selected users or users in selected project roles will have full control over the folder. Other than viewing, downloading, linking, and publishing files, a folder administrator can also edit the folder, view private files, check out files (or undo the checkout), and apply activity locks on files.​

4. Folder permissions defined at the default or role level can be overridden.

Any folder permission defined at the user level always has the highest priority. Then comes the role level, and then the default level. For example:

  • If you are specifically assigned 'Publish' permission separately as a user, you will get 'Publish' permission on that particular folder.

    • If you are not assigned permission separately as a user, you will get the permission depending on the role to which you are assigned. In such scenarios, if your role is assigned 'Publish' permission, you will get 'Publish' permission in that folder.

      • If you or your role is not assigned permission separately, you will get the default permission on that particular folder.

5. Click on 'Cancel' to close this window.
