Setting or changing the permissions on a folder

All folders and items on Futures have permissions. Permission settings decide who can access, modify and create items within a folder. 

Folders have three elements that permissions can be set for:

1. View - Who can access and see the folder exists in the workspace. 
2. Modify - Who can edit the name, settings and delete the folder. We recommend that this is restricted to managers in most instances. 
3. Create Items - Determines who can add new items to the folder.

You can set your permissions either when you first create a folder or at any time after it is created.

1. To access an existing folder's permission settings, navigate to the folder, then go to the 'Actions' menu at the bottom and select 'Modify folder properties & permissions'. 
2. Go down to 'Permissions' and select it to open it. If this is a new folder, you will also see a permissions section. Here you will see 'View', 'Modify' and 'Create Items'.
3. Select who you want to have these permissions. This can either be 'Users', 'Members', 'Managers + teams' or 'Managers'. 
4. Select which 'Item Type'(s) can be created in the folder by those with 'Create Items' permissions. Managers can add any item type regardless of the settings. 
5. Tick 'Copy Permissions' if you want these same permissions settings for everything contained in the folder. Press 'Save' at the bottom when done.
