Overview
Note: This Knowledgebase article describes a feature that will be available to our partners and their clients in an upcoming Anchor release. Stay tuned! |
Team Shares allow users to collaborate on shared content in one centralized area. For example, you might create separate Team Shares for each department, or for project teams, to allow subscribers to collaborate on the same files and folders.
To support the collaboration process, subscribers can be assigned to roles that control their access rights within the Team Share. Roles can be assigned at the Group level, or to individual user accounts.
