Determining Top-Level Folder Type (Users vs Shared)

Determining Top-Level Folder Type (Users vs Shared)

Files within Pilot Project zones are organized into two top-level folders: Users and Shared. When a user is added to a Project, a folder under Users is created. Project Administrators can create another type of folder called a Shared folder which can be shared with Project members via custom roles. Access to all folders is automatically granted to all Project Administrators.

When utilizing the pilotcli, Pilot command line tool, it is essential to include the top-level folder type in all file paths. Failure to do so will result in command errors and failure to execute. Review these steps to help determine the applicable folder type for your pilotcli command.
