Authorizations in cFolders

[Former Member]

Hi

I have created collaboration folders upto 5 levels (Collab->Folder1->Folder2->Folder3->Folder4->Folder5).

Now for a user I want to give access to folder4 and below. At the same time I do not want its parent folders (folder1->folder2->folder3) not visible. i.e. when user logs in he should see only folder4 and below in his collaboration.

What authorization steps are involved to achieve this? Thanks.

Dear Senthil,

PLease explain the folder structure

are folder 2,3,4,5 at same level.

or folder 4 is in folder 3 which is in folder 2 which is in1.

eg.

is it like this?

Coll

-

---

> folder1

-

---

> folder2

-

---

> folder3

-

---

> folder4

-

---

>>folder 4.1

-

---

>>folder 4.2

-

---

>>folder 4.3

-

---

> folder5

if Yes goto folder 4 and give authorization whichever you need(admin/write/read/create etc) that autho will be carried forwward for the folder 4 and all subfolders i.e for folder 4, 4.1, 4.2, 4.3

etc

however he needs notification to access the folder he ll nt b in a position to see collaboration.

Hi Niranjan

Your depiction of structure is correct. As you mentioned I gave authorization (write) to folder 4. I also expected that the user will see from folder 4 and below. But it did not happen that way. Still the user was not able to see any folder on this collab.

Not sure if I am missing anything or should I auth the user at the collab level with different auth. Any thoughts?

Dear Senthil,

please tell me how you want the user's View?

you can do like this, however maintenence is complex.

Colla----

---

READ

Folder1--

---

READ(auto from colla)

-

---

>folder2----

---

READ(auto from colla)

-

---

>folder3----

---

READ(auto from colla)

-

---

>folder4--

---

WRITE--

---

change from Read to write

-

---

>folder 4.1----

---

WRITE(ll change auto)

-

---

>folder 4.2----

---

WRITE(ll change auto)

-

---

>folder 4.3----

---

WRITE(ll change auto)

-

---

>folder5----

---

READ(auto from colla)

if you want to give access to create new doc / folder you should give <b>create doc</b> autho to user for folder 4 and thus user ll have autho for all folders under 4

Hi Senthil,

as you did not give authorizations on Collaboration level to the user his 'Collaborative Scenarios' or any other entry screens are probably empty. So you can send him the hyperlink to this folder and he should be able to see the folder and his subfolders.

Hi Senthil,

Have you try the folder level Authorization .Dont give Authorization at the parent level, give specific folder. for eg. folder4 only. please dont give admin rights.
