Set Team/Group Folder permissions

CONTENTS

This function is only available for the Advanced plan.
For the Standard plan, you can use this function by applying for and using the Drive option.

The Folder Master has permission to edit all individual folders. Each member who can access individual folders can set permission to edit.

Permissions can be set only for Team/Group folders, not General Message Room folders.

Members will see a folder icon as shown below according to the permissions granted to each folder.

  • : Folders without permission to access (only displayed on PC web)
  • : Folders with permission to edit
  • : Folders with permission to read

Reading and editing are all restricted for the folders you do not have access permission.
