ACL Recipes

ACL Recipes

These recipes map to the Folder Access UI in the Admin Panel. Use them as starting points and adjust per folder.

Notes

• Manage (Owner) grants full access for that folder.
• Write is a shortcut that toggles the file actions (Create File, Upload, Edit, Rename, Copy, Delete, Extract).
• View (own) limits listings to files the user uploaded.
• Account flags (Read-only, Disable upload, Folder-only) still apply even if ACLs allow an action.
