The Uploader Role

By default, any user with the "explorer" role can upload files. If you want to restrict users from uploading files, follow these steps:

• As a Tenant Admin grants yourself the “upload_admin” role (edit your own roles, see instructions for editing rules below)
• Reload the UI to refresh your roles
• Go to Admin > Global Settings
• Check "Require the "uploader" role for file upload" box

With these setting, only users with the "uploader" role can upload files.

Editing User Roles

Bring up the list of users by selecting "Users" from the "Admin" menu.

You can then check the boxes for the roles you want to grant the user.

To introduce a new role, simply type its name into Roles. Type a comma at the end of the list and add the name of the new role. Double quotes are optional. The next time you edit roles you'll see the new role in the drop-down.
