Understanding Team Folder roles and permissions
Each member in a Team Folder is assigned a role that defines what they can do.
There are five roles:
Admin
By default, assigned to the creator of the Team Folder. Can manage members and settings, and add, edit, move, rename, share all files and folders.

When download is restricted in a Team Folder, team folder members with the viewer role, and team members with view-only access on shared files and folders will not be able to download and print files. Learn more about about how to manage these permissions.
For a complete breakdown of roles and permissions, go to Admin Console > Settings > Roles and Permissions, or refer to the chart below.
Roles are specific to each Team Folder, and the permissions apply only within that Team Folder. A member can be a Viewer in one Team Folder and an Organizer in another, and their permissions will change accordingly based on the role assigned in each Team Folder.
