Configure Folder Access Permissions

After you create a folder, you can set its access permissions if other LMS users, including learners, need to access the files in it. You can configure the permissions for a folder only if it does not inherit them from its parent folder.

Administrators with unrestricted access to the Repository Manager feature in System Roles (Manage Features > Manage Features) and unrestricted access permission on the folder can set the access permissions for it.

1. Go to Manage Center > Learning > Repository Manager. The Repository Manager opens in a new window and lists your personal folders.
2. Click the [Properties] link of the folder you want to set access permissions for. The folder's Overview page opens.

4. Click Permissions The Permissions Selector opens in a new window.
5. Assign the Read Only and Unrestricted Access permissions as required. For example, to enable all learners to view the files in a folder, in the Read Only tab add the Role criteria and select the Learner role. When you save the permissions, the Permissions Selector closes and you are returned to the Folder's Overview page.
6. Click the Save icon to save your changes.
