Create Folders & Assign Folder Permissions

Yulio’s folder permissions allow account Admins to set up project folders that match your workflow. Depending on your needs, you can create folders by user, project, client, and so on.

You can also set permissions to individual folders to protect work from accidental edits or deletions, or better satisfy your clients’ NDA or privacy requirements.

How to Create New Folders

If you are an Admin on your account, you can create new project folders. 

Yulio has two types of folders — Public and Private. When you first get started with Yulio, you’ll notice a folder titled Team — this is a Public folder. Public folders can be identified by the person icon on the folder. All users with a paid seat on your account can access Public folders and the projects within them.

Folders that appear solid black are Private folders. These folders are only accessible to Admin users on the account, plus anyone that has been granted access to them by an Admin.

To create a new folder, select the blue Create New Folder button. 

By default, all new folders are created as Private. To make the folder Public, click and drag it as a subfolder under Team.

You can reorganize folders by clicking and dragging them to a new section of the folder list.

Setting Individual Folder Permissions

Folder permissions can be set by Admin users on the account.

To get started, select the folder you would like to set permissions for. Next, click on the three dots next to the folder name and then select Permission from the drop-down menu.

From here, you can manage folder access. Select the Add User button to grant individual user access to the folder.

Select Add All Users or Remove All to add or remove all users to or from the folder.

An Overview of Folder Permissions:

• Administrators have full access to all folders, regardless of login
• Administrators can grant Author and Associate users access to Private folders
• Administrators can move and rearrange folders
• Author and Associate users on an account will only have default access to Public folders. An Administrator must add the user to a Private folder in order for the user to have access to it
• Author and Associate users can only see folders they have access to. Any folder they do not have access to will be hidden
• When an Author or Associate user is granted access to a folder, they will get access to all its content and sub-folders 
• When a user’s permissions are removed from a folder, they will lose access to all the subfolders and content within it
• User permissions to Create or Edit within a given folder is still determined based on their role. Ex. Author, Associate
• When rendering with Yulio Jump, only folders that the user has access to will be exposed in the plugin

Folder permissions will help you organize and control access to your projects, and are part of our commitment to making VR a simple and intuitive part of your workflow.
