Hide Folders within a Sharepoint?

Is it possible, using any combination of POSIX and ACL permissions, under X Server 10.4.3, to render folders inside a sharepoint invisible except to those with permissions to view their contents?
I have the typical situation where I don't want one client to know that another exists. I'd need this to work for AFP, SMB, and FTP.
I'm aware that similar functionality can be achieved by creating a sharepoint for each client, but I have way too many clients for that.
I'd appreciate some advice. Experimenting is seriously hindered by having to restart the server to make changes in folder permissions take effect. (Egaads - what a bug.)
Thanks,

Hi,
Based on your description, my understanding is that to you want to grant a certain group of users to have access to a certain folder within SharePoint 365 library.
Navigate to the document library with the folders. Click on “…”then select “Shared With”, next click Advanced.
 there should be an option for Manage Permissions. From there you will have to break the permissions inheritance (there should be a link or option called Edit permissions). Once the inheritance is broken, you can add or remove people as needed.
Here is a link about set unique permissions for Folders, you can use as a reference:

  • Accessing certain folders within a SharePoint library by groups

    Hello there!
    Please, guys, give me some clarification. Is it possible at all to allow or prohibit access to a certain folder within SharePoint 365 library. A folder contais some files that I want a certain group of users to have access to it.
    What I have now is to allow access to a certain file in the library which is quite laborious as long as I have more than 5000 documents in the library groupped into 50+ folders. Could I make some automatization in order to allow access to a folder for
    a certain group of users automatically accordingly to an event in the calendar?

  • Should we create large number of folders within a list?

    For a custom list having 50K item it is more convenient for user to create folders to segregate custom list items logically. But if we consider performance, is it recommended to create large number folders of within a custom list?
    What are pros and cons of creating folders within a custom list?

    Hi SunilKumar,
    In a SharePoint list, the folder can also be seen as list item, considering to the large amount of list items existing in your list, the influence of these extra folders
    to your site won’t be so apparently.
    However, for a better item management, using extra columns for grouping items would be more recommended.

  • HT201320 Does my email service provider have to provide the ability for me to create an IMAP email account in order for me to create Sub-folders within Apple Mail?

    Hi, Apple Mail provides a function to create sub-folders within my mailbox so that I can group emails of similar subjects or from the same sender. My service provider only provides POP email protocol and the New Folder button does not appear in my Apple Mail account for that service provider. Icloud provides the opportunity for the iPad user to select between POP and IMAP. I can select IMAP and the New Folder button appears allowing me to create sub-folders within the icloud email account. Does this mean I cannot create sub-folders in my email account unless my service provider provides customers with the option of creating an IMAP email account?
    This appears to be a problem for quite a few Apple Mail users, but service providers appear reticent to provide a response other than 'use Microsoft Exchange / Hotmail, Google GMail, or some other third party email service provider'. This is why I have chosen icloud as my email service provider. It is Apple and therefore Apple supports it. I have been a Telstra customer for over 15 years and they informed me today, strongly, that they support their own products and services, not Apple products, even though Telstra sell them. When I asked the Telstra Customer Support Manager whether they support Telstra customers, I was informed 'no, because the Telstra customer is not a Telstra product or service'. I have since cancelled my Telstra email account and am in the process of cancelling all of my Telstra services.

    Yes. That is what it means. You need an IMAP account in order to create sub folders on the iPad.

  • Network shared folders appear as 'sharepoint'

    Hello
    I have 1 iMac and 2 windows 7 computers on my local small office network.
    From the Mac I can see and access all shares on one PC, on the other, when I access via finder, the shared folders appear as 'sharepoint' and I cannot see any sub folders. I have checked settings on both PCs in the network centre and they seem identical.
    Thanks if you can help. Regards

    Hi, just an update...some of the problem is related to extensions. Some files have explicit extensions and others not. When I change the file extensions to an explicit extension (eg .pdf) then the file is fine.
    However, there are no extensions on folders or folder aliases.
    I've tried using chmod -x + file location/file name but that makes no difference to the alias, meaning that the Snow Leopard does not recognize the item as a short cut to another folder. Snow Leopard will only recognize the item as an alias if it's been created on a workstation running Snow Leopard OS. Very odd.

  • In IE I used different levels of folders for my favourites. After importing I miss the bookmarks of folders within folders within folders etc.

    In Internet Explorer it is possible to organize favourites with folders as in firefox. In these folders you can make new folders and within those new folders. Can this tree structure be used in Firefox? After importing most of my favourites are gone, I can find no folders within folders within folders etc. So most of my favourites are not imported from IE.

    Thanks for the helpful thoughts LarryHN. I'm having a Mac guy look at my MacBook Pro in the next day or so to see what he can find out. I described the issue on the phone... and like you, he said that saving my documents to a thumb drive shouldn't affect my iPhoto library.
    One reason I bought the thumb drive was to back up my iPhoto library, but the time I got to that, it was already gone. I've thought of getting Time Machine (and have checked out other systems), but the reviews are so mixed, I'm dragging my feet on coughing up the cash right now.
    When I launch iPhoto, I only see the last few weeks' worth of photos. Oddly, photos I imported 3 weeks ago appear, but are in a folder dated November 2012--when I know I took those and imported them in January 2013. So that's weird...
    When I got to iPhoto Library, I have an Auto Import folder with nothing in it. "My Pictures" folder has nothing as well. I did hold down the option key while opening up iPhoto, but only my recent library (a few weeks' worth of photos) appears. I'm using iPhoto 2011 (6.2.3). I can only hope my Mac guy can help...

  • Am I able to stream from sub folders within the VOD?

    Hi guys,
    I have Flash Media Server 3.5 on a Windows server, but I don't no much about how to make it work. Until know we have only used it for live streaming.
    I have let myself guide through the beginners pages and they're helpful, testing everything locally (applications/babyvultures/streams/_definst_/vultures.mp4).
    The problem is when I copy my project to the server; same structure, but no video. If I move the file to the applications/vod/media, and change the path in the script, there is no problems.
    So the big question is: am I able to have sub folders within the applications/vod ?
    The thing is, that I want to publish videos from different sites that is also located on the server, and what I thought I could do, was to make sub folders, one for each site and then people can access their streaming folder via FTP, being able to publish their own videos with the advantage of rtmp streaming.
    Is it a limit in FMS? Or is there a solution?
    Thank in advance

    My case is that I have FMS 3.5 (not FMIS) installed on a webserver with a bunch of sites who each have their videos, (some more than others).
    Right now they all publish their videos via each their site root or videos folder with progressive download, so to improve the viewers experience and to decrease the level uploaded Gb from the server, I want to use the FMS with RTMP streaming.
    On the webserver we have a few sites, who has a large quantity of videos and very long ones, and they need to have a sub folder structure to administrate their videos, so it could look like this:
    FMSroot/
            applications/
                         vod/
                             site1/
                                   folder1
                                   folder2
                                   folder3/
                                           subfolder1
                             site2/
                                   folder1
                                   folder2
                                   folder3/
                                           subfolder1
    I am not planning to make something very complicated with scipts and such. Just a Joomla site and a module where I type in the address of the videos.
    I have tested with Adobe Flash, and the beginners samples, to make a script that shows a video from applications/BabyVultures/streams/_definst_/, but I cannot make it work unless I place the video in the VOD.
    I have the same problem publishing videos thruogh a Joomla module - I cannot get access to the video.
    The funny thing is that, in the Flash Administration Console, it detects and accepts the request, but yet nothing happens.
    What is confusing is the MEDIA folder inside the VOD, but it is not part of the stream path name.
    What should be the path of the file: vod/subfolder/video.f4v or vod/media/subfolder/video.f4v or something else?
    Thanks in advance

  • Unlock multiple folders within other folders

    I have several folders within other folders that when I transferred them from my PC to Mac, became locked for some reason. These are folders that contain music files. (mp3,.wma, etc) My question is rather than going into each folder and unlocking the sub folder, is there a way to unlock all folders and their subfolders. ex. Folder named "Metallica" has folders within named "...and Justice For All" and "Reload" The Metallica folder is unlocked but the folders with in are not. Can anyone help? Thanks

    Welcome to Discussions, dozer5000!
    Open /Applications/Utilities/Terminal, and copy the blue text in. DO NOT PRESS RETURN YET!
    chflags -R nouchg
    after the "g" in "nouchg", type a space. Then go to the folder you want to unlock in Finder ("Metallica", I think you said), and drag it into Terminal. Now press return.
    That should fix it.
    Good luck!

  • To set permisson for folders within a folder in KM Public documents

    I have lot of folders created in Public documents section and permission to add more folders are given only to few users.
    I want all the users to upload or download documents within these main folders.
    ISSUE:
    I do want want all the users to create sub folders within the main folders.I want them only to add/download documents so that there will not be any unstructured mess of folders.
    I'm unable to set permission as described above.When i give "Read/Write" permission for all users within the main folders then user will be allowed to create sub-folders which i want to avoid.
    Is there any method i can solve the above issue.
    Thanks and Regards,
    Pradeep

    Hi Pradeep:
    There is also a work around solution for this problem (which is not a direct way).
    For this you need to create TWO iViews to the folder path:
    1. Navigation iView: you might've already create this iView. Now make Everyone or your UserGroup as 'Read' only in Details > Setting > Permissions. Remove Read/Write to them.
    2. Upload iView: Now create an 'Upload iView' to the same path (same as Navigation View). This way users can only upload content (files) in to the said folders and can't create the Folders.
    Hope this helps and solves your issue.
    Tnx,

  • I can't open the folders within my bookmarks.

    ''locking this thread as duplicate, please continue at [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1043044 /questions/1043044]''
    I am unable to open any folders within my bookmarks. When I click on the Bookmarks and I scroll over a folder to open it, nothing happens. The number of URLs within any given folder range from 3-30.

    Hi s77f,
    Please take not of how to recover your profile after making any changes while troubleshooting this issue.
    *[[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]
    If you import the bookmarks to a new profile, does this happen as well?
    [[Export Firefox bookmarks to an HTML file to back up or transfer bookmarks]] and [[Use the Profile Manager to create and remove Firefox profiles]]
    Or, to make sure it is not hardware acceleration, some preferences or addons:
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily turns off hardware acceleration, resets some settings, and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).
    '''If Firefox is open,''' you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
    * Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
    '''If Firefox is not running,''' you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
    * On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".
    ;[[Image:SafeMode-Fx35]]
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme, or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps in the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
    ''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''

  • Sorting folders within a catalogue by date

    I have imported my Aperture and iPhoto albums into Lightroom. In my new Lightroom catalogue, they are separated by year taken. Within a given year, however the folders are now sorted alphabetically by folder name, instead of by date (they were organized this way in Aperture, because I was never able to figure out how to sort Aperture albums by date). Each digital photo does have date information recorded. I have tried highlighting all the folders within a given year and clicking View - Sort - Capture time...only to discover Capture Time was already checkmarked. Next I tried un-checking Capture Time, re-highlighting the folders, and checkmarking Capture Time. My folders remain in alphabetical order instead of chronological order. How do I reorganize my folders by date?

    You could do what I do. Build the sequence YYYY/MM/DD into your collection and folder names. Everything stays beautifully in chronological order. Perhaps you could adopt that method going forward and gradually re-name folder within Lightroom. See image:

  • How do you delete folders within collections in mini bridge?

    How do you delete folders within collections in mini bridge?

    his chapter on Mini Bridge where he talks about organizing your photos getting rid of some and making a folder or file sorry not certain of the terminology under Collections in mini bridge to acess your "keepers" perse.
    Not familiar with this book but if Scott is talking about using mini bridge for sorting images he is way out of line. Mini Bridge (to my opinion next to useless since they screwed it up for CS6 but that is another discussion) should be seen as a shortcut to Bridge itself when working in Photoshop on complex tasks of image or album compilation and prevent you from switching back and forward between the two applications while working on a project.
    Unfortunately some people thought that it might be useful to add more functions to it and now users start believing they don't need bridge itself for this.
    Please use Bridge itself for sorting etc and also try to get hold of a copy of 'Real World Camera Raw' written by Bruce Fraser and Jeff Schewe. They have an edition for about all CS versions and this book will let you know how to really use the power of Bridge and Adobe Camera Raw

  • Unable to view all folders within exlpo

    I have a Zen Sleek player and I have 4 main folders under the root directory. I am able to see and play everything just fine within the player but when I go to view the folders within windows explorer I only see of the 4 folders.
    I have performed the disk clean option which re-built my music library and rebooted my PC and it still is not working.
    It takes a long time to copy all the files over and create new playlists so before I end up re-formatting my player I am wondering if anyone can give me some help on fixing this.
    Thanks in advance

    There's not much you can do unfortunately, a disk cleanup is about it, short of the format.
    Presumably you're using the MTP firmware?
