Setting Access Levels When Sharing a Folder
When sharing a folder with a user or group, you can set the level of access permission. You can also adjust access permissions after a folder has been shared (if you have appropriate permissions).
The folder-level access permissions are:
- Viewer: A viewer can view and download documents in a folder but cannot share, rename, or upload files, or add user tags or labels.
- Collaborator: A collaborator can view and download documents in a folder as a viewer can. Additionally, a collaborator can upload new documents (unless disabled by an admin) and rename files, can add, remove, and edit user tags and labels, and can manage related documents. A collaborator has full access, including sharing, but cannot change someone's role from editor to another role and cannot delete documents.
- Editor: An editor has full access. The user who creates a folder is its editor. An editor can give editor-level access to other users or groups, in which case that folder will have multiple editor users. Each user is their home folder's editor.

An admin can enable or disable a user's access to the Upload, Request to Extract, and Clause Library features. A user whose access to one of these features is disabled cannot use that feature, irrespective of their access level to any folder. For instance, if the administrator disables a user's upload access, that user cannot upload any files, not even to a folder to which they have editor-level access. On the other hand, a user with upload settings enabled can only upload files to folders in which they have editor- or collaborator-level authority, not to a folder where they have viewer-level access.
To set the access level for a shared folder
-
Click the share icon (
) to raise the Share Folder dialog.
To adjust the access level for an existing user, take the same steps, noting that the user whose access level you will adjust is already populated and adjustable.
