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.
Open the Edit Role Name Settings dialog box, if it’s
not already open. (See Edit a role’s settings.)
Click the Folder/File Access category on the left side of
the dialog box.
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.
If you’ve selected Only allow editing within these folders,
specify folders by clicking Add Folder.
The Choose Folder
dialog box appears.
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.
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.
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.
