Managing Permissions Per Folder in the Wix File Share App
3 min read
You can set the permissions for each individual folder contained in your site's File Share app. This means that you restrict access to certain folders for some members, or groups and plans that you have created in the Back Office.
For example, let's say you work in a school and you have a folder just for teachers, you can change the permissions to ensure that only teachers in the school have access to that particular folder.

Levels of access permissions
You can choose the level of access you want to give a particular member, group, or plan. The levels are:
- View: Provides limited access to open, view, and download files in the folder.
- Upload: Provides the ability to add new files to the folder, and to view and download files.
- Manage: Provides the ability to add new files, manage folders, and give permissions to others to use access the folder.
Each "file owner" will always be able to see his own file regardless of the folder permissions you give them.
Notes:
- Permissions can only be managed at the root folder level and applies to all sub folders under it.
- To restrict a folder to specific members/groups/plans — you must remove "all members" or "site visitors", or both.
