Not familiar with Synapse teams? First, learn all about them here /wiki/spaces/DOCS/pages/1985446029.

For complex Synapse projects, administrators manage a wide variety of data that requires different permissions for different user groups. In this scenario, creating a system for managing data access with Synapse teams is recommended. This method allows you to group users together according to the level of access they require and then assign permissions to the entire team rather than to many individuals.

Teams are groups of Synapse users; learn more about creating and managing teams/wiki/spaces/DOCS/pages/1985446029. If you are working with many Synapse users on a project, and you want to allow some users to view or download data, and other users to add new data, you should consider using teams to manage your project permissions.

Next, navigate to the new Folder, and click on Folder Tools. Select Folder Sharing Settings, then click Create Local Sharing Settings. Click on the Make Private button and confirm that fields for All registered Synapse users and Anyone on the web have been removed. Save your changes.

The folder with can then be shared only with the specific teams that the entire project is shared with, and not the general public. Removing local sharing settings on an item will assign default permissions from the parent folder or project.

You or another administrator may alter local sharing settings unintentionally, or you may want to audit your sharing settings periodically. One way to manage these settings is by creating a view /wiki/spaces/DOCS/pages/2011070739 to see sharing settings at a glance.
