You can view or configure sharing attributes through the Folder Sharing section of the Settings page. Available settings depend upon your user type.
Typical actions you can perform from this page are:
Break off inherited folder permissions from parent folder
View/Revert to the current parent permissions
Re-activate TempUser accounts (if allowed by your org administrator)
From the Folders page, click a folder to open it. Then click the Sharing and Settings button (when available).
Folder Sharing Dialog Accessible from Settings or Sharing and Settings
Note: For cases where your user is not configured to share folders, clicking settings or Sharing and Settings will limit you to editing the folder name and description.

Admin
User/group to manage the settings of this folder. If you wish to delegate the ability to designate who should be able to access this folder (for example, change folder permissions) to particular users, you must also promote those users to GroupAdmins.
Customize Share Permissions (Break Inherited Folder Permissions from Parent)
Users with folder sharing permissions can share folders and with access permissions that vary from the parent folder.
If the current folder's permissions are chained to be identical to parent folder settings, when you try to add access to users the Customize Share Permissions dialog box displays. Click OK to break the relationship with the parent folder permissions and define custom permissions for this folder.
View/Revert to Parent Permissions
If a folder has "custom" sharing permissions (permissions that vary from the parent), from the Folder Settings page you can:
View. Click the View parent folder share permissions link.
Reset. Click the View parent folder share permissions link, then click the Reset to these Permissions button.
