Add or Update Shared Folder Permissions

You can assign users and roles and access permissions (Read-Write or Read-Only) to the shared folders you create or administer.

A subfolder's default permissions are based on roles. Roles and the permissions you assign in the Access tab determine who can access the subfolder and what then can do with it. For example, open, inspect, rename, move to, duplicate, or delete.

Note: When you move a data visualization to another folder, user roles that have been granted permissions prior to the move will be able to access the data visualization in th new location although their role may not be displayed in the Permissions tab.

The users and roles and permissions you specify are applied to any subfolders that you create and the workbooks that you save to the subfolder. You can fine tune permissions on subfolders and workbooks.

In the Home Page, click Navigator, and then click Catalog.
Click Shared Folders, and then navigate to the folder that you want to update permissions for.
Hover over the folder, click Actions menu, and then click Inspect.
Click the Access tab to add users and roles and permissions, or update permissions for the existing users and roles.
