Set permissions for content files and folders

To customize the permissions list for a file or folder, you must be an administrator, a limited administrator, or a user with Manage permission for that library file or folder.
Note: Administrators set permissions for limited administrators in the Administration > Users and Groups section of Connect Central. By default, limited administrators can set permissions for content, but an administrator could choose to revoke this ability.
  1. Click the Content, Training, Meetings, Seminar Rooms, or Event Management tab in Connect Central.
  2. Navigate to the folder or file and click its name to open it.
  3. Click Set Permissions on the navigation bar.
  4. Click Customization. (If the permissions for this item have been modified before, the Customization button does not appear. Proceed to the next step.)

    The Available Users and Groups pane displays users and groups for whom you can define permissions for the library item. The Current Permissions pane displays users and groups who already have permissions for the library item. You can change the existing permissions if desired.

  5. To add a user or group to the Current Permissions pane, select the name in the Available Users And Groups list and click Add.
