Making customer folders public or private
The customer folders you create in your account are public, by default. You can make them private, if needed. When both parent and child folders are set to public, child folders inherit (see and use) the parent resources. Setting a parent folder to private prevents child folders from inheriting (seeing and using) the parent resources.
About this task
You cannot make any of the default folders (Root, Customers, Vendors) provided by the system private.
