Permissions

Permissions can be assigned to users or groups.
They define access to Sync-in modules and features.

Access to Personal Space​

Permission identifier: personal_space

Grants access to the user's own personal space.
Includes browsing, file management, and sharing, depending on assigned permissions.

Access to Collaborative Spaces​

Permission identifier: spaces_access

Grants access to collaborative spaces the user is a member of.
Includes navigation and actions on content, according to the rights set for each space.

Administration of Collaborative Spaces​

Permission identifier: spaces_admin

Allows a regular user to create collaborative spaces. It does not grant management rights over every existing space: a regular user must be designated as a manager of a space to modify its settings, members, roots, or originating shares. Administrators can administer all spaces.

Access to Shares​

Permission identifier: shares_access

Provides access to the Shared with Me module, which gathers all items shared with the user.
Available actions depend on the permissions associated with each share.

Administration of Shares​

Permission identifier: shares_admin

Provides access to the Shared with Others module and allows a regular user to create, modify, or revoke outgoing shares and share links.

For content located in a collaborative space, this application permission does not replace the Share permission granted on the space. Both are required to create a share. Space managers can supervise existing shares originating from spaces they manage independently of this application permission.

Administration of Guests​

Permission identifier: guests_admin

Allows the user to create, modify, and delete guests.
Includes managing their managers and account information (name, email, password).

Administration of Personal Groups​

Permission identifier: personal_groups_admin

Allows the user to create personal groups and add or remove members.
Personal groups do not grant any technical permissions. They are only used to facilitate collaboration.

Access from the Desktop App​

Permission identifier: desktop_app_access

Authorizes access via the desktop application.
Required to connect a desktop or CLI client to the Sync-in account.

This permission is available only to regular users and administrators. Guest and link accounts cannot register desktop or CLI clients.

Sync from the Desktop App​

Permission identifier: desktop_app_sync

Grants permission to synchronize files using the desktop or CLI client.
Includes configuring paths, sync modes, and monitoring transfers.

WebDAV Access​

Permission identifier: webdav_access

Allows access to files via a WebDAV client.
Actions are subject to the same permissions defined in Sync-in.
