If you license your MOVEit Transfer system for Secure Folder Sharing, it is similar to package sharing but also enables you to:

Share the entire contents of a folder (including subfolders).
Note: Admins determine whether or not your Home folder can be shared as part of org security policy settings.
Selectively grant subfolder access.
Manage user, group, and guest access to my folders
Synchronize, organize, and share content with a community as a regular MOVEit Transfer user.

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.

Folder Access (Sharing) Permission Selections by User Type

Folder access (sharing) permission selections for a folder depend on the sharer's user type.

• Regular user view. (Secure Folder Sharing is enabled) List, Download, Upload, Delete, User List, Notify. Show me...

  Users selecting this folder permission...	Enable this folder access behavior...
  List	User/group can list all files added to this folder (including those files added by users).
  Download	User/group can download files from this folder.
  Upload	User/group can upload/overwrite files to this folder.
  Delete	User/group can delete files from this folder.
  User List	User/groups can see other users that this folder is shared with.
  Notify	Email notifications sent to user/group when new files are uploaded to this folder. (Exception: When you upload a file to a folder that you own, by default you will not be notified.)

• File admin view. (User with file admin role) Read, Write, Delete, List, Notify, Subs, User List, Share, Admin. Show me...

  Admins and file admins selecting this access type...	Enable this user behavior...
  Read	User/group can read files from this folder.
  Write	User/group can upload/overwrite files to this folder.
  Delete	User/group can delete files from this folder.
  List	User/group can list all files added to this folder (including those files added by users).
  Notify	Email notifications sent to user/group when new files are uploaded to this folder. (Exception: When you upload a file to a folder you own, you will not be notified.)
  Subs	User/group can add, rename, and remove subfolders in this folder.
  User List	User can see other users that this folder is shared with.
  Share	User can share this folder with users and groups. Note: Delegating folder sharing authority to a user enables that user to override stricter policies (such as cases where folder permissions are locked to match the parent folder's access configuration).
  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.

Folder Access (Sharing) Permission Settings (Regular User View Shown)

Reactivate TempUser Accounts

Temp users can expire based on policy such as a predetermined window, an interval of inactivity, or a download quota. If configured, your administrator can enable you to re-activate inactive TempUsers.

If you do not have permission to re-activate the TempUser account(s), you can contact your Org Admin for assistance.

This symbol...	indicates...	with this available action to sharer...
	A user account or attribute is inactive (locked).	None.
	Folder sharer has power to re-activate the TempUser account.	Click to re-activate this user.
[No unlock symbol]	Folder sharer cannot activate this TempUser due to the sharer's current set of permissions.	(Contact your Org Admin for more information.)

Shared Folder Access List (Inactive TempUser Account Shown in Red)

If your administrator licensed your MOVEit Transfer system to support Secure Folder Sharing, the following user types can share:

• Regular Users. Regular users can share folders with regular and temp users (granting permissions to share folders is determined by your organization administrator).
• File admins. File admins can oversee folder permissions for all regular and temporary users.

You can share with groups, regular (registered) users, and temp users. An email address is required for temp users.

• Groups. Include a group in a permissions list.
• Regular Users. Share with a regular MOVEit Transfer user (and choose from Contacts List when Ad Hoc is enabled).
• Temp Users (current or new). Include the user email in the User/Group field. Show me.

  

Temp users can expire based on policy such as a predetermined window, an interval of inactivity, or a download quota. If configured, your administrator can enable you to re-activate inactive TempUsers. For details, see View/Apply Share Settings (View/Apply Share Settings, Folder Sharing Walkthrough).

For purposes of secure folder sharing, a single notification email address can not be configured for more than one MOVEit Transfer user account. If you try to share a folder and an email address 'collision' is detected, the WebUI asks you to use an alternate email address or username before it can proceed to share the folder.

• FileAdmins and Administrators can delegate sharing permissions and share directly.
• Regular users can share folders (Secure Folder Sharing) that they own or were granted Share for, but they cannot delegate the power of folder sharing to another user.

Check if You Can Enable Another User to Share Folders

To see if the user you signed-on to MOVEit Transfer with can delegate sharing permissions to other users, from folder view, click the Permissions and Settings button, and look for the Share attribute.

Settings that Enable You to Extend Folder Sharing to another User

• Share folders in just a few steps:

	Open a folder. From MOVEit Transfer, open a folder.
	Edit parent or subfolder settings. Edit sharing settings (View/Apply Share Settings, Folder Sharing Walkthrough) for any of the following: Current working folder (). A subfolder (). A new folder. Click Add Folder, name it, open it, and define its share settings (View/Apply Share Settings, Folder Sharing Walkthrough) ().
	Break chained permissions model (if necessary). To share a folder that uses its parent folder share settings (default), you must opt to make those folder share and access settings Custom. For example:
	Add users and groups. Edit/control the access list. Select/clear permission attributes as needed to address user needs and apply folder sharing scenarios. Add regular and temp users from your contacts list (available to Ad Hoc users). Add guest/unregistered users with their email. Click Check Recipients to verify the email address(es) you entered is valid. You can also add a custom message to notify users when you share the folder with them, the purpose of the folder, and more.
	Type in a message for the user (optional) and then click Add.
