note
  • Adding groups to folders is ideal when you need to add whole departments, project teams, or large groups of people to the same folders and want them to have equal access rights.
  • Adding individual users is ideal if you want to give customized access rights for a few individuals or have content that only a few individuals should have access to.
  • For example, if you want to give everyone on your site access to multiple folders, add the default group called EVERYONE to each folder.

When users and groups are added to a folder, the changes reflects in the Access tab.

You can remove users or groups by Modifying access from the Access tab. Select the checkbox to the left of the user or group you want to remove, and then click Remove.
