Manage Files and Access Policies

The Files page gives platform administrators one place to browse storage locations, manage path-based policies, and verify what a user can do before a workflow or app touches a file.

Browse a file scope

1. Open Files from the sidebar.

2. Choose Global or an organization from the scope selector.

3. Select a share, then open folders from the center pane.

4. Select a file to preview it and inspect effective access in the right pane.

Use New Share to create a writable storage location. The Upload action appears after you select a writable share or folder. The built-in uploads location is read-only from this surface.

Manage path policies

Open the Policies tab to review every policy in the selected scope. A policy grants one or more actions—read, write, delete, or list—when its rules match. Policies can target a whole share, a folder prefix, or one file.

When several policies match a path, Bifrost evaluates the most specific path first. Use the effective-access panel on a selected file or folder to see the resolved cascade before editing it.

Test access

Choose Test Access from a file, folder, or policy action. Select a user and action, then run the test. The result identifies whether access is allowed and which policy or rule decided it.

Note

Files opened from a Solution install are pinned to that install’s scope and are read-only. Change Solution-owned files through the Solution lifecycle instead of bypassing its ownership from the explorer.
