Illustrative idea · FILE GOVERNANCE
Review a shared-folder access change
Help a folder owner confirm who needs a file before changing its access.
Make a batch of files shareable only after checking every audience.
Illustrative idea, not a published runnable template. Grunt is prelaunch; live service is paused and live provider connections and outcomes remain unverified. The steps, providers, and outcomes below describe a concept.
Select a folder and prepare a list of its files with proposed download links and access changes. Keep each file’s owner, current permissions, intended recipients, and link behavior visible so an authorized person can decide what may be shared before anything becomes accessible by link.
Actual availability depends on published steps, supported connections, permissions, and provider approval.
Selected folder for sharing reviewA folder chosen by an authorized owner for a one-time file access review
“List the selected files, prepare candidate download links, and present each proposed permission change for human approval before access is broadened.”
Work through the request.
Clear tasks, with review where it matters.
- Choose the folder and confirm ownership
- List files and current access
- Prepare proposed links and access changes
A batch review list showing files, proposed links, and access changes, with no public or recipient access changed until an authorized owner approves each item.
What this workflow could do
Helps file owners prepare a large sharing task in a reviewable batch instead of changing access one file at a time.
Review points proposed in this idea
A link that permits anyone who has it to view or download a file can expose private or regulated information and may be forwarded beyond the intended audience. Do not enable broad access by default; verify ownership, contents, recipients, and least-privilege settings for each file, and require explicit approval before changing permissions or distributing links.
How the idea could work
Select an illustrative task to explore its proposed role. No workflow runs here.
-
Select only a folder the responsible owner is authorized to review and establish which files are in scope.
-
Gather names, owners, existing permissions, and source locations while keeping the review list access-restricted.
-
Show which files would receive a download link and whether the change would broaden access beyond named recipients.
-
Have an authorized owner review each file for confidential information, sharing rights, and a recipient who needs access.
-
Require explicit item-by-item approval, use the narrowest suitable access, and separately approve the recipients before any link is shared.
Step 1 of 5
Choose the folder and confirm ownership
Select only a folder the responsible owner is authorized to review and establish which files are in scope.
Proposed setup considerations
These are planning notes for the concept, not instructions for a currently available template.
- 01
Select a folder with an accountable owner
Define the exact folder in scope and confirm that its owner may approve access changes for every included file.
- 02
Set a least-privilege sharing policy
Prefer named recipients, document when broader links are permitted, and define how links can be revoked or access reviewed.
- 03
Prepare a private batch review list
Include file names, owners, existing access, proposed recipients, and approval status while limiting who can see the list.
- 04
Test restricted and sensitive files
Check a varied batch and verify that no permission changes or link distribution occur before item-level approval.
Read the prelaunch status
Published templates and verified customer availability remain pending.
