You can use the sharing settings to grant different levels of access, or permissions, to individuals or teams. The permission categories are: view, download, edit, edit and delete, and administrator. You can apply sharing settings to an entire project, or you can apply sharing settings to individual files, folders, tables, and views within a project.

Permissions
View permissions give you the ability to see that something in Synapse exists (like the name of a project, file, folder, or table). You can discover the item using Synapse search, and it will be visible to you if included in a table or a file view. If there are annotations associated with it, you can see these as well, however you cannot see the table or file contents. For example, if you have view permissions on a file, you will be able to see the file name and associated annotations, but you will not be able to see a preview of the file or download it. View permissions are the only permissions that can be granted to the public (anonymous users).

Permissions
Download permissions give you the ability to see the contents of a project, file, folder, or table and download the contents to your own computer. Having download permissions includes also having view permissions.

Permissions
Edit permissions allow a Synapse user to make changes to something in Synapse. This permission level also allows you to upload data to a folder or project where you are not an administrator (although you must be a certified user to do so). A user with edit permissions can:

Project
When managing sharing settings, there are two main options: public and private. The private sharing setting limits access to only specified users and teams. By default, all new Synapse projects are set to private, and you can manually add additional collaborators and set their permissions as needed. When you create a new project, you are the only Synapse user with access and your permissions level will be administrator. The public sharing setting allows you to specify permissions for any registered Synapse user as well as to allow anyone on the web to view an item.

Clicking on Make Public adds two additional groups to your sharing settings window: 1) all registered Synapse users and 2) anyone on the web. You can edit the level of access for either group and then click Save to make your changes. Note that you can only grant view permissions to “anyone on the web”. To remove the settings for these two groups, click Make Private.

You can adjust the sharing settings for individual folders, files, tables, and views separately from their parent project or folder. For example, you may wish to keep a particular folder private while you make the project public. Or you may want to share drafts of individual files with collaborators first prior to sharing them publicly.
By default, all of the content residing within a parent project inherits the same sharing settings. If you move an item, then it carries those settings to another project. You can override this inheritance by defining a local sharing setting for that specific item. To do so, navigate to the file, folder, table, or view, then click on the Tools menu. Select the Sharing Settings option from the dropdown menu. You’ll see the current (inherited) sharing settings in the resulting pop-up window. You will also see the option to Create Local Sharing Settings, which allows you to specify different sharing settings than the parent folder or project.
