For one of our uses cases staff need to create two hundred shares with each share having an unique external customer permission. Currently in LiquidFiles this would require sysadmins to manage the two hundred shared folders. Our need is to have a share creation role with the following features: Create shares for which they become the default owner Can tag internal users as owners or members Can tag external users as members Users can only see shares they are tagged as members or owners
I never heard from LiquidFiles. I am assuming this cannot be done. For this use case we will look to another system such as SharePoint.
Correct, in releases <=4.1.x the Shares can be created only by Sysadmin or alternatively "export" this role to an custom app out of LF box and administer the Shares via Share API. Adding kind of share admin role is planned for v4.2.
For our “interim” solution we built a LiquidFiles custom connector in Logic Apps that contains actions for share creation, share user access, and deleting share user access. Staff control share creation and access through adding and modifying items in a SharePoint list.
