Group File

Overview

Group Files add the ability for Groups to own files, which are similar to Group Entities -- in that they are associated with, and potentially private to, a specific group.

Group files support ACL permissions are similar to Group Entities - so that access permissions can be specified according to "owner", "member" or "other".

Group Files features include:

folder structure within a group
ACL permissions at folder and file levels
operations for creating, moving and deleting folders
operations for moving, copying and deleting files
ability to copy/move user files to group files

tip

Like user files, group files will not be migrated to downstream apps during deployment.
