 Folder Security                                                                                              

In WellSpring you can create folders to organize your projects and secure access to the projects within that folder (or sub-folder). Only the owner of a folder will be able to modify the access rights to that folder.

 


 

To set up Folder Security:
  1.  Click on the the settings folder icon of the folder you wish to rename. This will display the properties of that folder, including the security list assigned to that folder. You must be the Owner of that folder to proceed with changing the folder security settings or to rename it.



  2. Define access to that folder by setting the Control List type and identifying the users within that Control List. Note that the owner of a folder will always be allowed access to the folder and its contents.
    • OpenAccess - all users will be able to see and access the projects within the folder. This is the default setting for new folders.
    • IncludeUsers - add all users to the control list that you want to be able to access the folder
    • ExcludeUsers - add all users to the control list that you do not want to access the folder
  3. Click on Update and Close
Example:
 
The Settings shown below will allow the user Demo and the user Demo.Dan access to the folder. Demo1, Demo2 and Demo.Admin will not be able to access the folder.
