Workspace Web: Managing Folder Permissions
Article ID: CTX237602

Description
Using Citrix Workspace to set folder permissions provides admins with the ability to set the following permissions and alerts for users:
| Permission / Alert | Description |
|---|---|
| View permission | Granting a user view permission allows them to view a document without downloading it. A user must be granted just view permission if you desire them to view the document with a watermark. If you grant a user download permissions on the folder, they will automatically be granted view permissions as well. Only VDR accounts and StorageZones accounts with View-Only Sharing have the ability to grant View permissions. |
| Download permission | With download permission, a user has the ability to download any document in the folder to their computer or mobile device. |
| Upload permission | Granting a user upload permission gives the user the ability to upload files or folders to the folder. With this permission, the user is also able to create subfolders within this folder. Any subfolders created will automatically inherit the parent folder’s permissions. The user creating the subfolder will not be able to manage users on the newly created subfolder unless they were also granted admin permission on the parent folder. |
| Delete permission | The delete permission grants a user the ability to delete files within the folder that they did not upload. Note that by default, all users are able to delete files that they uploaded to the folder. This can be turned off for an account by an administrator’s request to ShareFile customer support . |
| Admin permission | A user granted admin permission has the ability to manage folder access on this folder and can add or remove users. They will also be able to edit some folder options. Note that the user listed as Owner (usually the creator of the folder) may not be removed by any user. |
| Folder Alerts |
With download alerts, users are notified with an email that files were downloaded from the folder. A user must be granted admin permission on the folder to be granted download alerts, as it will allow them to identify other users on the folder when they download documents.
With upload alerts, users are notified with an email that files were uploaded to the folder. In order to be granted this permission, the user does have to also be granted the download permission. Users with download permission will also be able to grant themselves this permission through a checkbox on the folder. |
| Apply settings to subfolders | Selecting this checkbox will apply all previous selections for every folder available for a particular user. |
Instructions

- Navigate to the People > Manage Users menu.
- Use the Search or Browse function to locate the user you wish to view.
