Users on Asite can view permissions on the folders accessible to them. Below are the steps to view permissions on a folder:
1. To view folder permission, you need to right-click on the parent folder or subfolder.
2. Click on the 'View Folder Permission' option to view the folder permission as displayed in the below screenshot.
3. Clicking on '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
Users or roles having 'No Access' permission won’t have any access to the selected folder.
View Only
Users or roles having 'View Only' permission will only be able to view files in the selected folder. They won't be able to download files irrespective of their role privileges.
View & Download
Selected users or roles having 'View & Download' permission will be able to view existing files as well as download them. The file download will be subject to the user's role privilege to download files.
View & Link
Selected users or roles having 'View & Link' permission will be able to view existing files as well as link them to folders in the same or other projects.
Publish
Selected users or roles having 'Publish' permission will be able to view existing as well as upload new files (including uploading files on placeholders).
Publish & Link
Selected users or roles having 'Publish & Link' permission will be able to view existing files, upload new files (including uploading files on placeholders) as well as link them to folders in the same or other projects.
Admin
Selected users or roles having 'Admin' permission will have full control over the folder. Along with viewing, downloading, linking, and publishing files, a folder administrator can edit the folder, view private files, check out files, or undo the checkout as well as apply activity locks on files.
4. Folder permissions defined at the default level or role level can be overridden.
Any folder permission defined at the user level is always given the highest priority. Then comes the role level and then the default level. For example:
If you are specifically assigned 'Publish' permission at the user level on a folder, you will get 'Publish' permission on that particular folder.
If you are not specifically assigned permission at the user level, it will then depend on your permission defined at the role level. In such a case, if your role is assigned 'Publish' permission', you will get 'Publish' permission on that particular folder.
If your role is also not specifically assigned permission, you will get the permission as defined at the default level on that particular folder.
5. Click on 'Cancel' to close this window.
