Stay organized with collections
Save and categorize content based on your preferences.
Content access levels control which users may edit folder contents (such as Looks and dashboards), view the contents in a folder, and change folder settings. Access levels can be adjusted for each folder, as described on the Organizing and managing access to content and the Designing and configuring a system of access levels documentation pages. While folders can be adjusted from the Folders section of the Looker main menu, admins may find it easier to make changes from the Content Access page in the Users section of the Admin menu.
Finding a folder to edit
Your hierarchy of folders shows in the Folders section. Click the folder that you want to edit, or expand a folder by clicking the arrow to its left.
Adjusting access options
To adjust who can view or edit the folder, click the Manage Access button underneath the Folders section. These options are described in greater detail on the Organizing and managing access to content documentation page.
