Folders managed by CompleteFTP are assigned to a user (its owner), and have permissions that apply to its owner, and all other users. In the Professional and Enterprise Editions user groups are supported, and permissions can also be assigned to these groups.

Note that CompleteFTP permissions apply only to non-Windows users. The permissions of Windows users are entirely controlled by Windows.

The Standard Edition of CompleteFTP features basic permission control, while the Professional and Enterprise Editions have more sophisticated permissions:

• Standard edition permissions
• Professional/Enterprise edition permissions
• Windows permissions

Standard edition permissions

The owner of the folder can be selected in the Folder Properties section of the File System panel. The user permissions are shown as radio buttons under Access (non-Windows users):

Owner (full)	Owner has full permissions
All users (read)	Owner has full permissions, other users have read permissions
All users (read)	All users have full permissions

Professional/Enterprise edition permissions

The owner of the folder can be selected in the Folder Properties section of the File System panel. The folder's group can be selected from the list of user groups. Any non-Windows user who is a member of that group will be granted the permissions that group has on the folder. Finally the permissions are shown. Click on "[Click to view]" and a popup will display the permissions for the folder's owner, group, and for all users. The permissions themselves are self-explanatory.

Windows permissions

The Windows permissions for a folder are shown under Access (Windows users). These are the permissions that apply for CompleteFTP Windows users. They are readonly, and cannot be modified via the CompleteFTP manager. Windows Explorer should be used to change Windows permissions.
