Let us consider the user Mike in the above example who has access to the Marketing folder. Let us now consider two more folders in the VFS, General and HR under the Sales folder. Mike currently has the following access in the VFS:
*Marketing folder: View, Download, and Resume File Transfer.
*Inbound folder: View, Download, Resume File Transfer, and Upload.
*Outbound folder: View, Download, and Resume File Transfer.
As an Administrator, you want to grant view access to Mike to the other folders in the Sales folder: General and HR. This can be achieved using the following:
