Introduction

Filespace permissions form the foundation of our Access Control List (ACL), allowing administrators to manage view and edit access across folders and the files they contain for specific users.

Permissions play a crucial role in securing data access, enabling user collaboration on projects, and granting filespace access as needed. Administrators can adjust permissions dynamically—granting or revoking access, upgrading users from view-only to edit permissions based on evolving needs, or removing access altogether.

While members are administered on a workspace level, permissions are granted and managed per specific filespace.

How to view and assign permissions

Administrators can assign permissions to both users and groups. The functionality is available through both the web application and the desktop application. Here are the steps needed to view all permissions and assign new permissions:

1. Open the LucidLink application and log in with your LucidLink account. You need to be administrator of a specific filespace in order to view and add permissions.
2. Locate the filespace for which you’d like to view/add permissions, click on the "expand" arrow next to it in the navigation menu and then “Access and permissions”
3. You will be presented with the following screen where you can view all the permissions for the filespace:
   
4.  You can also navigate to the "Access and permission" page of a specific filespace through the "Access and permissions" option within "Workspace settings". There you will be presented with a list of all filespaces within the workspace and clicking on one of them will lead you to the above page.
5.  There are several options you can take from here. Based on your choice, you can:
   
   View and manage permissions for specific folders or the whole filespace
   View and manage permissions for specific members
   View and manage permissions for specific groups
