Hide Public Folder

Hello,

Our Human Resources department would like to hide a folder that resides in the Public community. This folder contains out of date (archived) documents. They want to retain the files but no longer want everyone in the company to be able to see the files. As I mentioned, this is a Public community. Other than deleting the folder or creating a separate Community for HR Archive Documents, which they do not want to do, is there a way to keep this folder from Public view? The only people that should be able to see the contents should be the HR personnel.

Thank you.

Hi Anita,

No, that's not possible. The community configuration:

Only knows about readers and editors. Even when I use a personal folder and share it with a Community, it always allows all members the configured access (read, edit, own). No way to hide this folder in a public community.

Regards,

Christoph

Christoph,

Thank you for the prompt reply. This is what I suspected but I wanted to verify.

Have a good day.

Hi Anita,

because this feature does not exist yet I would suggest you to open an idea for it, which can be done at the following page:

Please also check the following existing idea, which seems to be similar and for which it is already marked for "Under Consideration"

Thanks, Thorsten

Thanks for the suggestion, Thorsten. I have opened a new idea for the folder/file authority issue.

Have a good day. -- Anita
