Folders
Note
Folders now support Missions and Reports as assets.
Folders allow you to combine multiple asset types in a single location, and permissions control Folder access. You can only view and interact with folders you have access to.
You can find Folders at the top of the list in the Library section. Assets already located inside Folders are not displayed in this section.
To view all available assets, navigate to the app-specific Library section.
Supported Assets
Available in the Library section:
Designer Cloud Workflow
Cloud Execution for Desktop (CEfD)
Analytic App
Permissions and Ownership
Folder access is controlled by permissions assigned by administrators or folder owners.
Depending on your permissions, you can view, create, update, delete, or share folders and assets within them.
Only users with appropriate permissions (such as folder owners or admins) can delete a folder.
In some cases, users may be able to contribute assets to a folder without being able to share them. This allows collaboration while maintaining controlled access.
Moving Assets to Folders
Supported assets can be moved to Folders only from the Library section.
To move an asset to a Folder, you must have permission to edit the asset and permission to modify the target folder.
To move the asset to a Folder, use the 3-dot menu and select Move option. Select the folder in the Move dialog (Only folders that you have access to are displayed).
A user moves an asset (including shared assets) to a Folder and the asset becomes visible in the Folder.
If the asset is later unshared with the user, it will disappear from the Folder view for that specific user.
Folder sharing
Folders are treated as shareable assets. Only users with sharing permissions for a Folder can share it. Folders can be shared with individual users or User Groups.
Users receive an email notification when a Folder is shared with them.
Assets inside shared folders inherit the folder's permissions. Access to assets is granted through folder membership.
Sharing permissions may be restricted based on user roles and folder permissions.
There are following sharing permissions:
Folder access is controlled by permissions assigned to users or user groups.
Depending on permissions, users may be able to view, edit, or share folders and assets.
In some cases, users may not be allowed to share assets, even if they can edit or contribute to them.
Dependencies of shared assets (related workflows, datasets) are not automatically shared. You need to explicitly share any dependencies required to work with the assets.
Assets inside shared folders inherit the folder’s sharing permissions; however, if a folder is unshared, its assets may remain shared unless they are explicitly unshared..
User A shares Folder A with User B (Viewer permission). If Folder A contains Asset X, User B gains Viewer access to Asset X automatically.
If a user sharing the Folder (User A) lacks sharing permissions for some assets inside the Folder:
Only assets to which User A has sharing permissions are shared.
For other assets, a Request to Share notification is sent to the respective asset owners.
User A unshares Folder A with User B. User B loses access to all assets in Folder A.
If User A doesn’t have unsharing permissions for some assets:
Only the assets inside the folder User A controls are unshared.
For other assets, a Request to Unshare notification is sent to the respective asset owners.
Removing Assets from Shared Folders
When an asset is removed from a shared Folder, it is automatically unshared with users who have access to the Folder.
Folder Deletion
Only the Owner or an Admin can delete a Folder.
When a Folder is deleted:
Assets that the user has delete permissions for are also deleted.
Other assets are moved to the root folder, and a Request to Delete notification is sent to their owners.
