Set Who Can Create Folders

You can define whether a user or user group can add folders in the folder structure of the Your Library (Add a Folder for Library Content) and Your Screens (Add a Folder For Screens) pages.

This can be done in the Admin Dashboard at the User or User Group level by assigning or removing the Can create folder permission.

Network Operators and Administrators have the ability to create folders by default.

Note: The Domain Admin page can only be accessed by users assigned the Administrator page access. See Level of Access.

You can access the Domain Dashboard by clicking the Publish Admin link in any of the Broadsign Publish pages:
