The built-in roles cover most teams, and a custom role lets you set exactly what someone can do, down to which protocols they may use. Anchoring a member to one folder limits them to it everywhere, on web, desktop and every protocol.

  1. 1 Open Team to see the built-in roles: Owner, Admin, Member and Viewer.
  2. 2 Create a custom role when you need something in between.
  3. 3 Set the matrix across files, folders, sharing, team, and protocol access such as WebDAV and S3.
  4. 4 Add conditions if you need them: allowed IP addresses, or a cap on requests per minute.
  5. 5 Assign the role, and anchor the member to a folder if they should see only that one.
