Short answer
No. Permissions are set at the Index level, not for individual folders within an Index.

Full explanation
AskTuring’s permission system applies to the entire Index. When you give a user access to an Index, they inherit the same level of permissions for all folders and files inside it. This means:

  • You cannot restrict access to only certain folders within the same Index.

  • If you need different permission levels for different sets of documents, you will need to create separate Indexes and assign permissions accordingly.

Tips

  • Plan your Index structure with permissions in mind before uploading large numbers of files.

  • Use separate Indexes for sensitive material that only certain users should access.
