Folder permissions in ChatNGO provide flexibility to control who can access, view, or modify content within a folder. This ensures that the right team members have the appropriate level of access to collaborate efficiently while protecting sensitive information.

#### How to Set Folder Permissions

1. **Sharing a Folder**:
   * Go to the folder you wish to manage.
   * Click on the three dots (more options) next to the folder name.
   * Select **Share** from the dropdown menu.
2. **Choosing Access Levels**: When sharing a folder, you can set permissions for the whole workspace or individual users. The options include:
   * **Full Access**: Users can add, modify, or delete chats in the folder.
   * **View Only**: Users can view the content but cannot modify it.
   * **Only Me**: The folder is private, and only you have access.
3. **Assigning Permissions to Specific Users**:
   * You will see a list of workspace members.
   * For each user, you can assign one of the following permissions:
     * **Inherit (Can Edit)**: Follows the general workspace permission settings for the user.
     * **No Access**: The user cannot see or interact with the folder.
     * **Can View**: The user can view the contents but not make changes.
     * **Can Edit**: The user can add or modify content within the folder.
4. **Permissions for Entire Workspace**: You can also set permissions for the entire workspace, allowing all users to have a unified access level. These options include:
   * **Only Me**: Limits access to yourself only.
   * **View Only**: Allows all workspace members to view the folder.
   * **Full Access**: Provides all workspace members with full control over the folder contents.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.chat.ngo/workspaces/folders/folder-permissions.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
