The Sharing Access to a Folder iteration of the Share For dialog
Summary
A Workspace supports the ability to 'share' Workspace folders – facilitating connection to and access to Workspace content of a particular nature. By sharing folders, design content in a Workspace can be easily partitioned and shared with others.
A folder in a Workspace can be shared on several different levels, in effect defining both the level of visibility of that folder and the level of security for access to it. This can range from being strictly private access by specified individuals or roles, to levels for allowing anyone in the same organization to view or change content respectively.
