The Forma Data Management (formerly Autodesk Docs) connector supports the folder permissions granted by
Forma Data Management on web and BIM 360 on web.
Contact your project administrator if you require higher permissions.

/Note: The *Upload Only** BIM 360 permission is not supported in Desktop Connector v16.x. Members with Upload Only permission need to access BIM 360 Docs on web to complete this action.
If your administrator updates your folder permissions on the web, Desktop Connector picks up those changes automatically on the next sync — within 30 seconds for projects you've recently worked in or 5 minutes for other projects. There is no need to restart Desktop Connector or remove and re-add the project.
If your access to a folder is removed while you have unsynced local changes, those changes will show as failed jobs in the Home Screen. For more details, see Folder Permission Changes.
