Change access to a folder in Mindjet Files

When a folder is shared with users, those users are assigned an Access level that determines their rights to the folder, and their default rights to its content. You can change the folder Access levels for users in the Folder Access list.

   Folder Access level options will vary depending upon the type of user. For more information, see Understand access rights.  

4. Select the Access level you want for this user. The Access level you choose will apply to the folder, its sub-folders, and the maps and files they contain.* 

• Read-Only* allows a user to open and view the folder and within it, the sub-folders and files that have been shared with them. With this level of access, the user cannot  create sub-folders or add new content by creating new maps or uploading maps or files. They cannot delete or rename the folder, or share the folder, its sub-folders, or files with others.

• Edit* allows a user to open and view the folder, its sub-folders, and files. With this level of access the user can create sub-folders and add new content by creating new maps and uploading maps or files. They can delete or rename the folder or share the folder, its sub-folders, and files with others.

  Guests cannot have Edit access to a folder. For more information see Account roles and Understand access rights.

• Unshare revokes the user's access to the folder and to its contents. They can no longer view the folder, or its sub-folders and files. 

* Sub-folders and files within a folder automatically inherit the folder Access, but you can override this by setting the Access level for individual sub-folders, maps and files.
