User Policies
The User Policies section of the Folders module allows administrators to define policies specific to a user, set a home folder, and define folder template actions. Policies are added, removed, and prioritized, by clicking their corresponding action icons. Policies may also be duplicated, imported, or exported, and these actions are identical to those described with respect to Folder Templates.
To access User Policies, navigate to the Folders module and click on User Policies.
