Delegate

There are two ways admins can delegate sharing authority to regular users:

• Folder specific. Applied to a specific folder. (Select any folder in your org from the folder drop-down list and click Permissions and Settings.) (Best practice)
• Org wide. Applied through Organization settings (Settings > Security Policies - Folder: Home Folder Permissions).

Folder-Specific Option: Delegate through individual folder permissions

As an admin or file admin, you can delegate (or remove) user folder sharing on a per-folder basis. (You can also use this method to override or complement policy settings made on a per-org basis)

1. Click Folders. From the folder drop-down list, select a folder to add/remove Share permissions.

   Folder view displays.

2. Click Permissions and Settings button.

   Permissions and Settings view displays.

3. Click the checkboxes to select (add) or clear (remove) permission attributes.

Org-Settings Option: Delegate sharing through home folder permission policy controls

Before you delegate sharing settings as MOVEit Transfer Org Administrator, carefully consider the needs of your users and the tradeoff of information access and to information controls and confidentiality.

There are three important things to consider:

• Enabling the Share permission attribute on the Home Folder Permissions page will enable users to apply customized permission settings in the form of user access control lists.
• Customized permission settings do not have to inherit policy settings from the parent folder. (In most cases they won't.)
• If you revert Share settings (clear the checkbox) after users have enjoyed sharing capabilities, permissions will no longer be customizable and will revert back to your Org wide policy.

Note: It is best practice to enable Secure Folder Sharing first on a MOVEit Transfer Org designated for non-production use where you can decide which users will benefit from increased autonomy and collaboration. After you understand the capabilities and modes of use, it is optimal to deploy these capabilities to production on an org-by-org basis.

As Admin user, sign on to MOVEit Transfer and check home folder policy for your users:

1. From the Settings page, find the Security Policies panel and click Folder: Home Folder Permissions.
2. Notice the following new folder permission attributes you can apply as an administrator. (Click the checkbox to apply or clear a permission attribute.)
   • Share. Delegate folder sharing capabilities to a user. (Users will be able to apply custom permissions settings to their Home folder.)
   • List User. Enables user to see the full list of other users that the designated folder is shared with.
3. Choose the sharing permission attributes you want to apply to the regular users in your MOVEit Transfer Org.

   Finally, choose access permissions that the Home Folder Owner can extend to others. (Only available when you select Share.)

   

   Shared folder users with List User privileges can see a full list of folder users from a drop-down list .
