Hide folders between sites

New Member Posts: 7 Join Date: 8/6/19 Recent Posts
Hi all,
I've a Liferay 7.2 installation, with 3 different sites, each site has a user with role "Site Owner". 
The problem is the following:
When a user is editing his site, and is changing a picture/file in his site, in the "Select File" -> "Documents and Media" screen he see the folders of the others sites. In theory, the users only has access to own site.Someone knows how to hide the folders between sites/users?

I tried with the Organizations, Roles and Permissions, but seems impossible.

Thanks in advance.

You may want to set the permissions on the other site's Document and Media Library to be viewable to site members only - unless you also store public website images/illustrations, then you can only limit access to a folder in the library.

Thanks for the feedback.

I've setted already the subfolders permissions, the problem is root folder, that always appear. Do you know if that is configurable?
Thanks in advance.

I didn't try it with different sites, but yes, it's configurable. See attached screenshot

Thank you very much for you answer,
I configured the home folder permissions, but seems not working,  a user see the folders of the others sites.
