Modifying Permissions Of Project Folders

It is common to want to modify the permissions of a folder in your project.  You might want to

  • Restrict the folder so that only specific users or roles can access it
  • Increase the permissions of a user
    • For example, a user who holds the participant-a (read-only) project role, may need to have their permissions increased to allow them to create data in a specific folder and children folders.
  • Decrease the permissions of a user
    • For example, a user how whole the 'participant-acmd' (read/write/destroy) project role, may need to have their permissions decreased to allow them to read-only in a specific folder and children folders.

For any of these (or possibly other!) use cases, if you are the RCAO or Technical Contact for the project, please submit a Service Now request  using one of the  links on this page. In your ticket, specify

  • The name of your Mediaflux project
  • The user(s) of interest
  • How you want to modify their permissions (see also the list of possible roles)
