Viewing Box permissions for users and user groups
You can view details of the Box permissions for a user or group on the Permissions tab.
See About Box permissions.
To view the Box permissions assigned to a user or group
- On the Workspace tab, navigate to the list-view.
- Click a user. The panel populates to display additional details.
- Click on the Summary panel to display the underlying user-centric views.
By default, the tab displays a summary of the selected user
- Click . Or right-click the user in the navigation pane, and select .
- Use the device filter in the content pane to search for specific devices where the selected user has permissions. The Devices with permission filter is applied by default. The filter pane displays the list of devices on which the selected user has permissions. Or, click the drop-down to select a specific type of storage device where the user has permissions.
- The effective permissions view shows the paths with unique permission levels. The view shows the all folders that the user has access to and the user's permission level on that path. All folders under that path will have the same permission and thus are not displayed individually. If a sub-folder's permission is changed, that path is displayed in the list of paths.
A summary of the permissions that are assigned to the user on the selected folder appears. If more than one user is collaborating on the folder, Data Insight does not display any information on how the sharing occurred (by using a shared link or by invitation), and also does not give any detail on whether link is publicly available, and whether it has any expiry date.
