There are three types of folder security:

  • Public: Anyone can access the folder/workspace and modify the content.
  • View: Anyone can access the folder/workspace but only the owner or the one given full edit right can edit.
  • Private: No one can access to folder/workspace, only users with specific permissions can access the folder.
