 Folder Security Settings

This section enables Administrators to control security role access to each folder. View Folder and Write to Folder (e.g. upload images) settings are available.

View Folder: This enables users within the permitted roles to view the files within this folder. If View Folder permissions are not provided users cannot view these files. E.g. If an image is displayed in the Media module only users who belong to role permitted to View Folder will be able to see the image.

Write to Folder: This enables users within the permitted roles to upload and delete files using the Link Control on modules such as the Links module.
