In the Folder Properties page, select a user from the Add User list, assign a role to the user on your private folder, and click Add.

NOTE

You can assign various roles, such as Editor, Owner, or Viewer to the user with whom you share the folder. If you assign an Owner role to the user, the user has Editor privileges on the folder. In addition, the user can share the folder with others. If you assign an Editor role, the user can edit the assets in your private folder. If you assign a viewer role, the user can only view the assets in your private folder.

NOTE
