Setting permissions for a file or folder
Account administrators, course managers, account meeting administrators, and users with
Manage permissions can set permissions for the folders that they have permission to manage and
for the files within those folders.
By assigning groups or users certain permission types for a file or folder, you can control which
users or groups can access certain features for that folder. For example, you can set a folder's
permissions so that only certain users or groups can publish content to the folder. You can also set
a folder to have the same permission as its parent folder. If the parent folder's permissions change,
the underlying content that has been assigned to use the parent folder's permissions changes
as well.
To avoid listing and managing large numbers of users on the permission profile for a file or folder,
you should use a group-based permission system. Create your system as follows:
