Navigate to the **Documents** area of your workspace.

From the **Actions** menu, click **Create Folder**.

On the **Create Folder** page, enter a **Folder Name**.

In the **Folder Permissions** section, select **Only Give Access to Me**.

In the **Where to next?** section, select **Edit Folder Permissions**.

Click **Create Folder** to confirm.

You will be redirected to the **Folder Permissions** page to update permissions for the new folder.

To grant access to a group, select the desired group from the drop-down list.

To grant access to an individual user, enter the user's name in the field and select the user from the list.

Assign the appropriate folder permissions to the relevant group or user. You can grant access to multiple groups or users to view the new folder.

Click **Save Permissions** to apply the changes.

Once the permissions have been saved, return to the **Documents** area to continue working within the workspace.

To review user access, navigate to **Workspace Access** and use the **View as User** feature. This allows you to review the workspace from another user's perspective and confirm that folder permissions have been configured correctly.
