Access grants

The Access tab of a unit lists the grants that widen visibility across a boundary. The rule is deny by default — a grant is the only way to allow it.

Column Meaning
Grantee The person (or unit) the grant is for.
Type person, unit, …
Resource What is shared — a files folder, project, contact, channel, task, and so on (<app>:<kind>:<id>:<right>, for example vncbfiles:folder:…:read).
Effect allow or deny.
Expiry When the grant lapses, or — for none.
Actions Revoke removes the grant.

Select + New grant to add one.

The list is scoped to you: a member sees the grants they created, and an administrator sees every grant on the resource. Revoke is available to the creator or an administrator — being able to see your own grant means you can take it back.

Sharing an item in another product — for example Share with people in VNCfiles — writes a grant here. VNCdirectory+ is the single grant store, so the authoritative list of who can see what lives in this tab.
