Folder access applies to personal folders only

How it works

How Folder access applies to personal folders only works, drawn only from its official release notes.

1. 01

   What it does

   When a personal folder becomes a workspace folder, the access levels you granted stop applying to the projects inside it.

2. 02

   Who gets it

   The source does not say which plans include it. Check your workspace before relying on it.

Example workflows

Starting points built from this record, not transcripts of a run. Each prompt is written the way it should be sent, as one paragraph, and each is worth editing before you send it.

1. 01

   Stand it up from scratch

   You have read the record and want Folder access applies to personal folders only working in a real project rather than a sandbox.

   Set up Folder access applies to personal folders only in this project — when a personal folder becomes a workspace folder, the access levels you granted stop applying to the projects inside it. Walk it end to end, tell me exactly what you changed, and flag anything I have to switch on myself before it works.

   Expected outcome

   A working setup, a plain list of what changed, and a short list of anything left for you to switch on. Check that list before assuming it is done.

2. 02

   Decide whether it fits your project

   Worth five minutes before you wire anything in. Folder access applies to personal folders only sits in Workspace, and not every project needs it.

   I am building the project in this workspace. Given that Folder access applies to personal folders only when a personal folder becomes a workspace folder, the access levels you granted stop applying to the projects inside it, tell me honestly whether it fits what I am building, including the cases where I should not use it. If it does fit, give me the single smallest first step.

   Expected outcome

   A direct yes or no with the reasoning, the cases against it, and one first step. Treat a hedged answer as a no.

3. 03
