Restrict users to a specific attachment folder
Attachment folders can't be restricted by user. If a user has permissions to view attachments and attachment folders, they will be able to view all attachments, attachment folders, and attachment subfolders.
That said, you can restrict any Employee user type to their default folder assigned in their employee record. However, Employee user types can only view attachments and attachment folders. If a user needs to add, edit, or delete attachments or attachment folders, they must be a Business type user, and Business type users can't be restricted to any single folder.
To restrict an Employee user type to their default folder:
-
Go to Reports > Setup > Dimensions > Employees.
A list of all employee records appears.
- Find the employee you want to restrict.
-
Select Edit at the end of the row.
