Folder Portal Visibility

In addition to setting a Folder's permissions, Administrator accounts can toggle the Folder's Portal Visibility via the User Portal Visibility actions.

Designer Projects cannot be visible from the Portal; these actions are only available to Folders.

By default, Folders are only viewable in the Studio.

A common use case involves granting root Folders with Dashboards the ability for end users to view them via the Portal.

User Portal Visibility Hide/Show

1. Log in to an account with administrative access. 
2. In the Studio, navigate to a Folder and right-click to open the Action Menu. 
3. Navigate to Manage, then select either the [User Portal Visibility]Hide or [User Portal Visibility] Show actions.

User Portal Visibility Reset

In the event that a Folder exhibits undesired behavior, users may utilize the [User Portal Visibility] Reset action. Utilizing this method resets the permissions applied to a Folder back to their default behaviors.

This allows accounts in any associated groups with the applied permissions as well as Administrators to view the Folder from the Portal.

1. Right-click a Folder that has either had [User Portal Visibility] Hide or [User Portal Visibility] Show applied to it.
2. Select Manage >[User Portal Visibility] Reset. 
3. Right-click the Folder and expand the Manage menu; ensure that both the Hide and Show actions appear as expected.
4. Navigate to the Folder in the Portal to ensure that expected Portal Visibility is exhibited.
