Managing Users in a Share

Note: You must be a system admin, an organization admin, or a project admin to perform these operations.
You can manage users in a share from the Users tab in a share's Settings page. Users are divided into four filters:
Filter Description
All All users of the project, including:
  • Authorized users
  • Users that are part of a group that is authorized to the share
  • Users who are authorized to the parent project of this share
Authorized Users who have been authorized to the share with specified content permissions
Through Groups Users that are part of a group that is authorized to the share
Through Teams Users that are part of a team that is authorized to the share

Authorizing a User to the Share

An authorized user is a user that has specific content permissions for the share.
  1. Select the Authorized filter and click Authorize.
  2. Select a user from the list. You are redirected to the user account's authorizations page.
  3. Click Grant authorization and set content permissions for the account.

    You can give the following permissions:

    • Delete
    • Download
    • Make Folder
    • Rename
    • Upload
    • View

    For more information on content permissions, see Shares Terms and Concepts.

  4. Click Create.
The user is now authorized to share. Click Modify authorization to Edit the user's content permissions or Remove the user completely.

Viewing a Share User's Content Permissions

To see user account's authorizations, select a user from any filtered list.
The user authorizations page shows the account username and its account type. There is only one account type: Share User.

The user authorizations page also shows the user's share authorizations in the Share Authorizations table. The Share Authorizations table displays all the authorizations this user has to this share (that is, direct through authorization to the share or indirectly through membership of an authorized group), as well as the share permissions for each authorization. The table also shows the user's effective permissions; if the user has multiple authorizations, the effective permissions are the highest level permissions given the user. Click on an authorization to change the content permissions for that authorization. For more information on content permissions, see Shares Terms and Concepts.
