- Open the (triangle) menu and choose Permissions.
- In the pop-up, select the Required Permission from the list of available permission levels (roles) a user may have.
- By default, the system checks whether the user has the required permission in the current folder. To check the user's permissions against another folder, click Choose Folder and browse to select the desired folder.
Set the required permission and click
Save.
