Sharing permissions are folder-based.  Manage folder access as follows:

• Select Properties and select the Sharing tab
• Click the Add… button. A new row is added to the grid
• In the first cell (member column), select the user or group you want to add, and select a role.
• If the user you’re looking for is not on the list, the user is not part of the Library community.  Invite him or her to join. Once invited, the user will appear on the list.

Inherited Membership, Sharing and Notifications

When a user (or a group) is a member of another group (see Manage Groups), group settings will applied. These settings will be shown in the user’s membership, sharing permissions and notifications as read-only. Settings specific for the current user-group will be editable.

For example, we have a group (Group A) with a sharing permission on the folder “HL7 References”. If you set a user (John Doe) as a member of the Group A, and add a new sharing permission for John Doe, you will see 2 permissions. The first row (grayed) represent the permission inherited from the membership to Group A. The second row is a permission specifically set to John Doe.
