Remove access permissions for a file or folder

You can remove existing access permissions to a file or folder to prevent users from viewing it in Igloo Flex's File Manager. Removing access permissions does not remove the file or folder from the digital workplace. 

Considerations

  • Inheritance: A file or folder may have its own set of users and groups with unique access permissions or inherit the access permissions from the folder containing it.
  • Access changes: Access permissions changes update for affected users the next time they refresh their browser or log in to the digital workplace. Removing access permissions does not remove the file or folder from the digital workplace.  

Who can do this?

  • Workplace administrators
  • Users with file manager roles of owner or full for the current file or folder
