Group Management

Groups offer Filespace administrators a convenient way to provision resources by combining users and defining permission path assignment in a uniform manner.

Administrators can apply or revoke access as required, assigning group permissions throughout the folder hierarchy in read-only or read/write across a subset of users. 

Multiple users and permissions can be defined within each group. 

Groups are administered from within our LucidLink client dashboard through the control panel tab.

Locate the LucidLink logomark.png logo within the Taskbar to access the control panel.

Please note, as of Filespace format 2.2 the legacy term “Shares” has been changed to “Permissions.”

Groups are configured shares and users with read, read & write permissions.
