In Folders you can manage your contents, therefore it is possible to create folders on different levels of the explorer tree. You can create folders...

... in namespaces.
... in other folders.

Adding a Folder

	Since you can create folders within namespaces and in other folders, you will find the option Add Folder in the context menu of both elements.

The Folder Context Menu

Right click a folder to open its context menu.

The context menu displays all options available for a folder:

Adding a Service

Editing the Folder Name

Exporting and Importing

You can export and import folders in the explorer tree. For detailed information see page Exporting and Importing Explorer Contents.

Managing the Folder Permissions

You can set access restrictions on several levels:

On a namespace in the user management: This level has the highest priority. If a namespace with read-only permission is already assigned to the user in the user management, the permission set in the Designer has no effect. For further information go to the Scheer PAS Administration Guide.
On a folder: See below. Folder permissions affect all sub-elements of the folder, but you can assign permissions to a service within the folder independently.
On a service: See Services. Service permissions only affect the corresponding service.

Designer > Folders > folder_permissions.png

Select the option Permissions in the context menu if you want to manage the access to a folder.

Documentation Library > _designer_images > popup_permissions_list.png

In the pop-up window Permission Administration you can invite single colleagues or whole groups to access the folder.

By default, the creator of the folder and everyone sharing the current namespace has write permissions.

To limit access to the folder you can delete the group Everyone or give it read-only permission.
If you want to restore the permission for Everyone, select option Invite Group first. You can then search for the group and add it again.

Documentation Library > _designer_images > invite_people.png

If you want to add other users, first select one of the options:

Invite Group: Allow whole user groups to access your folder. Available groups are all distribution lists that have been created as a Role in the user management.
Invite People: Add single users to your folder and grant them read or write permission.

Documentation Library > _designer_images > permission_search_person.png

Enter the name or email address of the group or person in the search field. Matching results are shown in a list.

Select the entry you want to use.

Documentation Library > _designer_images > permission_add_person.png

Click icon Documentation Library > _designer_images > icon_add_person.png to add the selected user or group.

Documentation Library > _designer_images > read_permission.png

Once the user or group has been added, you can set whether the user or the group should have read or write permission.

Do not forget to Save your input.
