Users and Groups

How users and groups function in Egnyte

Egnyte has three different kinds of users, each with different permissions and access controls. These users have a pre-defined access level, but Groups with shared permissions can also be created by admins.

In Egnyte, groups are used to quickly assign folder permissions to users. Unlike some other cloud storage platforms, groups don't give control over account settings or access to folders by default. Instead, when sharing a file or folder, the group can be selected instead of individual users.
