Snippet Level Permissions

Questions and Help
1

Hi there,

I’m hoping someone can help me understand how snippet-level permissions work inside a Team Workspace.

We are using TextBlaze Business, and have a particular snippet stored in an Organizational Shared Folder. The goal is simple. We want everyone in the organization to be able to use this snippet, but we also want to allow a few additional team members to edit this one snippet without changing the permissions for the entire folder.

From what I’ve read, it sounds like snippet-level overrides should be possible by turning off inheritance, but I’m not seeing any permissions menu at all when I open the snippet. There is no Share button, no Manage Access option, no Permissions panel, and no three dots for snippet-level access, even though I have admin rights.

Things we’ve already checked:

We confirmed the snippet is inside a Team Workspace, not a personal workspace

We confirmed I have Workspace Admin permissions

We confirmed the snippet is inside a Shared Folder

The folder itself is shared with the entire organization

But still, no permission controls appear when viewing the snippet.

Is there a workspace setting or plan limitation that would prevent snippet-level permissions from appearing? Or has snippet-level sharing changed recently and now works differently than described in older documentation?

Any guidance on how to accomplish this would be greatly appreciated. We simply want to allow more editors for one snippet while keeping the folder restricted.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi @Steve_Clark ,
Snippet permissions are controlled at the folder level. There is no (and never was) snippet-level permission. Sharing a folder allows you to control the access permission of individuals in the team.

Sharing a folder is different from setting the folder as a default folder, which gives everyone in the org view access to it.

You could place the one snippet in a different folder, give individuals edit permission to the folder, and make it a default folder for the entire org as well.

Ok thanks Dan. Appreciate the insight.

I guess another way I could approach it is to make a snippet in an editors folder.

But then the snippet I have in the Organization wide share can just pull the data directly from that one that is editable.
