Course/Community Group Members who have been assigned the right to retrieve files from the group's portfolio, may also, depending on group privileges, have permission to set who else may view individual files in the portfolio.
There are 4 different file access types:
- Public access: Anyone can see/download the file
- Private access: Only group members with portfolio access can see/download the file
- Password protected access: To see/download the file, a person must enter the password set for the file
- Conditional access: To see/download the file, a person must meet a specified condition, one of:
- be from a particular institution
- be a particular person
- have a role in a particular course
- be using a computer in a particular location
Types other than 'private' can allow access by people who do not receive access by virtue of group membership.
If a View/Change Status link is shown at far right for a particular filename you can use that to change the access status of the file. If instead a View Status link is shown, you can use that to display information about the current access status for the file.
