Restrict who can see a file or folder

Restricted items are hidden from everyone in the studio except admins, the person who added the item, and the people you choose.

Before you start

• You need to be a studio admin, or the person who added the item.

Steps

1. On the Files tab, open the item's … menu and choose Info.
2. Click Sharing & access.
3. Turn the Visibility switch to Restricted.
4. Click Add people, then click each person who should have access. Click Done.
5. To take someone's access away, click the remove button on their row.

What happens next

• The item shows a Private badge on the Files tab.
• People without access no longer see the item, or anything inside a restricted folder, in the list or in search.
• Turning Visibility back to Public removes every individual grant.

Good to know

• Only people on the project team can be given access.
• Restricting an item in the studio does not change whether the client or a contractor can see it. Manage that under Client and Contractors on the same tab.
• You can also restrict files as you upload them, or when you create a folder.
