Terminology and Specifications

Folder Sharing Source Group

  • A group that can share manuals within its own group to another group on a per-folder basis
  • Can create cross-group shared sets
  • Can invite destination groups to a cross-group shared set to perform folder sharing

Folder Sharing Destination Group

  • Can receive an invitation from the source group and join a cross-group shared set

Cross-Group Shared Set

  • A grouping of one source group and one or more destination groups
  • Creating a cross-group shared set is what first enables the source group to perform folder sharing
  • Once a group joins one cross-group shared set, it cannot join a different cross-group shared set

Folder Administrator of the Destination Group

  • The folder administrator of the source group is automatically assigned. This cannot be changed to another user
  • Although this role exists as a permission in the destination group, the following specifications mean that no interference with the destination group is possible
    • Logging in to the destination group is not possible
    • Changing folder settings in the destination group (such as adding viewers or changing the folder sub-administrator) is not possible

Folder Sub-Administrator of the Destination Group

  • A permission that allows adding viewers to a shared folder and adding, changing, or removing folder sub-administrators
  • Immediately after receiving an invitation, the group administrator of the destination group is designated
