On this page, we'll show you how to add users and give them various types of permissions.
You can give a user read-only, write-only, or full access (read/write/move/rename/delete) on any folder or combination of folders that you'd like.
You can also give a user read (download) and write (upload) permissions but not delete or rename by giving them both read-only and write-only access.
-
First, log in and create the folders you'll need. You can do that on the Files tab.
-
Then, navigate to the Users tab in the top right corner. Click New User and fill out the short form to add a new user. Go ahead and add all the users that you'll need.
-
Back on the Files tab, click Show Permissions in the top right corner. This shows you who can access the root folder. If you created other folders, clicking into that folder and then clicking Show Permissions will show you who has permissions on whatever folder you're looking at.
-
To grant permission on a folder, browse to that folder and then click Show Permissions. Click Grant Permission, select the user to grant permission to, and then click the button for the type of permission you'd like to grant: Read, Write, or Read/Write/Delete.
Permissions cascade downward into child folders. So if you grant someone access to a folder, you also grant them access to everything it contains. This means that if you grant someone permissions on the root folder, they will have that permission on the entire FTP site.
