I was reminded of the importance of permissions the other day when a gentleman who works at a service agency told me a story of permissions gone awry.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">His agency, which was <em>not<\/em> using Onehub, tried to share a particular folder of materials with a client. This folder was a sub-folder of a larger hierarchy and when they shared the sub-folder, the agency actually granted access to the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">entirety<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of the master folder. As a result, sensitive data leaked.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because of the lackluster permission controls offered by our competition, his agency didn\u2019t have the option to grant precise permissions at the level needed.<!--more--><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If this agency had used Onehub, they would have had greater permission controls over two important vectors: roles and levels.<\/span><\/p>\n<h1><span class=\"TextRun SCXW137100965\" lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW137100965\">How to Implement\u00a0<\/span><\/span><span class=\"TextRun Highlight SCXW137100965\" lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW137100965\">Secure File Sharing<\/span><\/span><span class=\"EOP SCXW137100965\" data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559738&quot;:299,&quot;335559739&quot;:299,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h1>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Role-based permissions let you set up secure file sharing and determine what level of access a recipient has with your content. Grant them \u201cCollaborator\u201d level permission to give them unfettered access to and interaction with the content, or severely limit their actions with lower level permissions such as \u201cViewer\u201d or \u201cDownloader.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Onehub also lets you narrowly share a folder, sub-folder or even a single file.
