Can I Hide a Subfolder from a Specific User Group While Granting Access to the Parent Folder?

Hi Heloise, 

How are these folders and the content within them being surfaced within Content Profiles? 

I organize my library in a way that makes sense for content creators and publishers, but that is sometimes very different from how it is surfaced and published for end users within Content Profiles. 

Hi Heloise, 

Are you looking to setup permissions within the Library itself or within a profile for end users? Depending on which one the process of achieving this would be different. It seems like you are referring to the Library for a shared folder structure among content contributors or teams, but once we know this we can advise further on how to do this properly. General methods and best practices are below: 

It is technically possible to configure permissions so that a user group has full access to a parent folder but is denied access to a specific subfolder within it by using object-based permissions.

Common best practices include creating granular access controls at the folder or file level, where permissions can be explicitly set to restrict access to certain subfolders while allowing broader access to the parent folder.

One effective method is to create a separate group for users who should be excluded from the subfolder and then restrict that group’s access specifically to that subfolder.

This layered permission model ensures flexibility and security by applying the most restrictive permissions where needed without affecting access to other content
