Profile permission settings for S-Drive Objects

Permissions on File Objects

You can apply profile-based permissions on S-Drive file object (Account File, Contact File, etc). S-Drive supports four different access levels:

  • None

  • Read

  • Read + Create + Edit and

  • Read + Create + Edit + Delete

Each access level is described below.

Note that in order to create (upload) a file, Edit permission must also be given.


To set these profile-based permissions go to Setup and find Profiles, and edit the profile you want to change and find the Custom Object Permisssions.
Note that you cannot change the standard profiles' permissions. You may need to clone them before you can edit.

 

Field Accessibility (Field Level Security)

In order to use all features of S-Drive, we recommend enabling field access to all fields on the file object.

No Permissions Enabled

If you uncheck all boxes for your standard/custom object file, your users belonging to this profile won't be able to see the S-Drive file area at all, so they won't be able to do anything with custom object files.
Note: "No Permission Enabled" is not supported for S3Objects custom object.
