Terminology and Specifications

Folder Sharing Group

  • A group that can share manuals with other groups on a folder basis
  • Can create cross-group sharing sets
  • Can invite recipient groups to join the cross-group sharing sets to share folders

Folder Recipient Group

  • A group that can view manuals in the folders of the sharing group through receiving shared content

Folder Administrator in Recipient Groups

  • The folder administrator from the sharing group is automatically assigned. This cannot be changed to another user
  • Although this permission exists in the recipient group, it cannot interfere with the recipient group due to the following specifications:
    • Cannot log in to the recipient group
    • Cannot change folder settings in the recipient group (such as adding viewers or changing folder sub-administrators)

Folder Sub-administrator in Recipient Groups

  • Permission to add viewers to shared folders and add, change, or delete folder sub-administrators
