Hey everyone, Is there any way to configure the labkey webDAV/webfiles client user view or functionality?
we would love to hide the folder tree from some users as well as the home folder in the tree in instances where we are showing the tree we would prefer to not show the home folder... Not at all familiar with this aspect so any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Hi Wayne,

Customization is limited when it comes to the FileContent browser UI.

You can configure the toolbar to not display things like the folder tree button for the user to toggle, but this would apply to everyone, not just some users:

https://www.labkey.org/Documentation/wiki-page.view?name=fileManagementAdmin

What do you mean by "the home folder in the tree"? When a user is viewing the Files Web Part or the FileContent browser, they are viewing the files that pertain to the specific container they're in. For example, if I was in a project called /MyStudy, the Files Web Part would only show me the file repository for /MyStudy and nothing else. If you were in a subfolder under /MyStudy and the path was /MyStudy/MyAssays/MySubFolder, you would still only see the File Repository under MySubFolder and also /MyStudy wouldn't have visibility into MySubFolder or even MyAssay since all of the respective repositories are siloed.

Regards,

Jon
