- Mar 09, 2021Unless I'm mistaken, there isn't a limit on how many permissions a file/folder can have. If people are having trouble getting to a folder then you need to make sure they are in one of the security groups that have access to the folder in question.

My apologies for the late response. The project managers have been using shared links for access to folders and it's caused a permission nightmare. I may have it resolved. I've created unique permission groups for each folder and placed the respective Users in those groups. We're testing now to confirm the issue has been resolved. Thank you for your assistance!
