Packages Permissions

Project administrators and package managers can create and manage packages. See the Package Managers help topic to learn how a project administrator can grant package manager permissions to a user, role or company.

Package managers and project members can action files in a package depending on their folder permissions for the specific file. See Folder Permissions for more information on how permissions work in the Files tool.
