Set folder access settings

You can choose to limit user access to specific folders on the website or to allow users to access all the folders in the defined website.

  1. Open the Edit Role Name Settings dialog box, if it’s not already open. (See Edit a role’s settings.)

  2. Click the Folder/File Access category on the left side of the dialog box.

  3. Select Allow users to edit files in any folder to let users access all folders and files on the website’s root, or select Only allow editing within these folders to limit access to a specific subfolder or group of subfolders.

  4. If you’ve selected Only allow editing within these folders, specify folders by clicking Add Folder.

    The Choose Folder dialog box appears.

  5. The Choose Folder dialog box displays all folders and files under the website’s root.

    You can preview pages on the website by selecting them. This lets you see which pages you are restricting access to.

  6. Navigate to the folder you want to provide access to, and click Select Folder.

    For example, if the website’s root is http://www.mysite.com and you want to specify that users can edit only those pages that are in the folder labeled marketing, click the marketing folder. The access path appears as: http://www.mysite.com/marketing.

    The Choose Folder dialog box closes, and the selected folder appears in the Folder access list. You can add folders to the Folder access list to give users access to multiple directories on the website.

  7. Click OK.

    When the next Contribute user connects to this website, they can edit only those pages and files that are inside the listed folders.
