Manage folder access for users

By default, no access privileges are defined in ARIS document storage. All users have access to all folders - including the root folder - and documents. You can limit the access to individual folders of ARIS document storage so that not all ARIS document storage users can access all folders and their contents.

Warning

If you edit the access of a user or a user group to a folder for the first time, you also have to adapt the access privileges of the remaining users or user groups accordingly. Otherwise, all the remaining users or user groups will have no access at all.
