Managing Permissions in B2DROP

B2DROP allows you to control who can access, edit, or share files through permissions. The default sharing options are available when the Share permission is enabled.

Advanced Permissions

For more detailed control inside Group Folders, you can request Advanced Permissions by contacting:
datamanagement@bsc.es

These allow you to define specific rights for individual users or groups.

Available Permissions

Permission	Description
Read	View files and folders
Write	Edit existing files
Create	Add new files or subfolders
Delete	Remove files and folders
Share	Share with others (internal/public links)

In addition, you can apply custom rules to individual files and subfolders:

Inheritance Rules

Permissions follow a simple inheritance model:

Scenario	Result
Parent folder denies editing	All subfolders and files inherit the restriction
A file has custom permissions	That file follows its own rules, overriding the parent

⚠️ Important: "Allow" rules always override "Deny" rules.
Be cautious when combining inherited and custom permissions.
