Configure access permissions to personal drive

You can share documents from your personal Drive with colleagues. Set access permissions for each user individually or for an entire department. If you don't want to share the entire Drive content, allow access to specific files and folders only. Use advanced access permissions to configure this.


Configuring access permissions

  1. Go to the Drive section > My Drive.
  2. Click Settings (⚙️) and select Assign permissions.

By default, full access to your personal Drive is available to you and the account administrator.

Click +Add more to select a category of users to grant access to your Drive content.

User categories for which you can configure Drive access permissions:

  • Users. Select any employee in your Bitrix24. Enter their first name, last name, or login.
  • Employees and departments. Grant access to colleagues from departments or sub-departments. Choose them from the company structure or add individual users.
  • Social network groups. Share Drive content with entire groups, their owners, or moderators.
  • Other. Configure access permissions for external users or all authorized users in your Bitrix24.

If you want to keep your personal Drive private but still share a file or folder, configure shared access.

  1. Click on the file or folder. Select Share > Shared with other users.
  2. To select employees and configure access permissions, click +Add more. Save the changes.

The file will appear in the Drives of the selected employees.

If you change access permissions on the Drive while using the Trial or Professional plan, employees may lose access to files when switching to the Basic or Standard plan.

Restoring access is not possible because on these plans:

  • It is not possible to reconfigure or check Drive access permissions.
  • Default access permissions cannot be restored.
