Manage a User's Role

When you share an item with other recipients, you will specify the Role to grant to those user(s). The Role controls what actions the user(s) can perform on the item. For instance, a user may only be granted a role to View or Download a file without the ability to change it.

A user that has the Editor or Owner role on an item can manage the roles for other users on this item. When sharing a file or folder, a user cannot grant a higher Role (with more permissions) than the current role they have for the item.

Example

Tom uploads a file and his role is Owner. Tom shares the file to Kathy and grants her the role of Editor. When Kathy shares the file to Rick, she can only grant him Editor, Contributor, or Viewer access.

Use the following instructions to manage a user's permission level to a file or folder you shared.
