Roles in Manager
A Role is a set of certain permissions and policies regarding what given User can and can not do in Synthrone.
Things worth to notice:
- A User can have more then one Role assigned
- Roles are assigned during Synthrone user account creation (click on this link to learn how to create a new user)
- Roles can also be edited or assigned in Synthrone Manager, in Users tab (click on this link to learn how)
Roles in Browser
A user who created a folder, becomes an Owner of the folder.
It means that you can use the whole set of functionalities offered by a Collaborator Tool:
- Sharing the folder with your colleagues and assigning the roles to them
- Creating and removing users, changing the roles of existing ones
- Generating links for sharing access to the files with users outside of the platform.
(in order to secure your data there is a possibility to set a password and expiration date for the generated link) - Changing the location of the folder (by choosing the option Move)
- Copying a folder to a different location and renaming it
- Viewing the details of the folder, like location, type, size etc
- Adding folder into Favourites and creating a copy (alias) of the folder at the dashboard of Browser
- Downloading your folder
- Moving folder to Trash and deleting it
Other Users can be assigned the following roles:
Co-Owner
Has same set of functionalities as the owner with few exceptions:
- He can create new folders within the existing folder (although he will not be their Owner)
- He can create and manage the users with the folder (but has no right to modify the access for the Owner)
Editor
Has the access to the same functionality as a co-owner although he:
- cannot create new users or assign roles to existing ones
- cannot share links with users outside of the platform
Viewer
A viewer can download files, add them to favourites and view the details of the folder.
Note:
All users are assigned the same roles in every subsequent folder created in the original one.
