Folder's Permission by user only?

Hi everyone,

I like to check.

I have 1 site called Payslips where all my employees will access.

They are all consumers, except the hr manager is the manager.

I like to create a folder for each of my individual staff.

But I only want each folder only to be accessed by individual staff.

e.g. folder John can be accessed by John only. This applies to folder Rebecca to be access only by Rebecca.

I can't seem to find a way to do this. Please help!

Thank you.

This is out-of-the-box, standard permission setting functionality. Assuming you are using Alfresco Share, sometimes it is confusing when you look at Manage Permissions while in a Share site because it uses the Share role mappings. Instead, go into the "Repository" view within Alfresco Share and navigate to the folders you want to set permissions on, then manage permissions on those folders. You should see that you can (1) turn off inheritance, so that the "john" folder doesn't inherit the permissions of its parent and (2) invite "john" individually as a collaborator (or a consumer or whatever).

Set the permissions for the individual user:
