Permissions

As files and folders are created, Shinydrive assigns default (level 8) permissions to them, limiting who can view, edit, delete, or modify.

Shinydrive permissions can be applied to individual users or groups.

Viewing and modifying Shinydrive permissions can be done via Windows Explorer or the Shinydrive Web App.

Permissions may already be in place on a folder or file. For example, if you do not have "See/See Contents" on a given file, you will not be able to see it in Shinydrive.
