ACL Recipes

Reference guides and how-tos for FileRise core and Pro.

Last updated Jan 18, 2026

These recipes map to the Folder Access UI in the Admin Panel. Use them as starting points and adjust per folder.

Notes

  • Manage (Owner) grants full access for that folder.
  • Write is a shortcut that toggles the file actions (Create File, Upload, Edit, Rename, Copy, Delete, Extract).
  • View (own) limits listings to files the user uploaded.
  • Account flags (Read-only, Disable upload, Folder-only) still apply even if ACLs allow an action.
