CloudSee Drive Group Permissions allows administrators to efficiently manage groups of users and control user access to Amazon S3 buckets. This system simplifies user management by offering role-based access control (RBAC), where permissions can be assigned at both group and individual levels, ensuring secure and streamlined file management.
Why Do You Need It?
Managing access to critical data stored in Amazon S3 can be complex, especially with multiple users and teams. With CloudSee Drive Group Permissions, administrators can:
Ensure secure access control to important files and folders.
Streamline the process of granting and revoking access by applying permissions to groups rather than individuals.
Audit user activities to maintain compliance and security.
Quickly manage and adjust permissions as team roles evolve.

CloudSee Drive Group Permissions is designed for CloudSee Drive administrators and IT managers responsible for managing user access and permissions across an organization.
