Using Oncourse Resources, how do I change the permissions for a folder?

Note: To complete these procedures, you must be assigned a role having the necessary permissions. To determine your role, follow the directions in Participant roles. To view a list of permissions associated with a given role, see Permissions, roles, and tools. For a basic understanding of roles and permissions, see Permissions and roles: Overview.

To change permissions for a folder in Resources:

2. Next to the folder in which you want to manage permissions, from the Actions menu, choose Edit Folder Permissions.
   
   
3. Check or uncheck the boxes to grant the permissions based on participant role. Options for permissions include:
   
   
   • new: Add new resources

   • revise.own: Modify own resources
   • delete.any: Remove any resources
