Presentation Management

Folder Permissions

Why set permissions on folders?

  • Maintain confidentiality: Only people who should see this content can see it.
  • Maintain content integrity: Those who should not edit this content won't be able to do so.
  • Simplify searching: If users only have permissions to see into a few folders, their searches won't be cluttered with hundreds (or thousands!) of files irrelevant to them.
  • Presentation Management is structured storytelling. Permissions on folders create the structure to help people tell your story.

  • Select View Only, Read, Write, or Full Control.

    • View Only:
      • Users can ONLY VIEW & PRESENT from this folder. NO copying, downloading, or editing, or using this material in new presentations.
    • Read means users can VIEW, PRESENT, and USE material in this folder in new presentations, but cannot EDIT slides in this folder.
    • Write means users can VIEW, PRESENT, USE, and EDIT material in this folder.
    • Full Control means users can take ANY ACTION on material in the folder, as well as updating permissions on the folder itself.
  • For Read or Write, select whether this group can SHARE presentations or not.

    • Full Control always allows sharing
    • View Only never allows sharing
  • Sharing a presentation gives the user the ability to send it to anyone internal or external in a read-only, slide-show-viewer format. Select read, write, and share as appropriate
