Managing folder permissions

Managing folder permissions

In this article, you will learn how to manage folder permissions in SPAN sports performance analysis platform.

Before you begin

In SPAN, user permissions such as "Viewer", "Editor" and "Organizer" determine the level of access individuals have to folders and their files. A "Viewer" can view and comment on files, an "Editor" has the ability to view, edit, and comment, while an "Organizer" enjoys full privileges, including the ability to view, edit, comment, share, and delete files within a folder. To learn how to create and manage folders, refer to this article.
