Who can work with files? 

File owners can keep their files private, share them with users and communities, or make them public.

The person who uploads a file for the first time is its owner. If the owner does not share or make the file public, the file is private, and only the owner can read and edit it.

Owners can share their files with people or communities. People can have Reader or Editor access to the file. Communities can only have Reader access.

Owners can also make a file public, meaning everyone who can access IBM Connections can read the file.

In some file lists, private files are marked with a private icon Private icon , shared files are marked with a shared icon Shared icon , and public files are marked with a public icon Public icon . If a file is both public and shared, it is marked with a public icon. If you hover over the icon, help text explains that the file is both public and shared.
