Automatically Create New User Folders Here When Users Are Created

This setting creates a dedicated subfolder for each new user within a specified parent folder, with permissions pre-assigned, so new users have folder access from the moment their account is created. You can scope the rule by group membership, which lets you provision users in different groups under different parent folders for distinct workflows or organizational units.

A common use is giving each user a "Home" folder, or setting up workflow-specific root folders. You can define naming conventions (the user's full name, the username, and so on) and set permissions accordingly. The rule can apply to new users only, or to both existing and future qualifying users. You can also name sub-subfolders to be created inside each user's folder, such as "incoming" or "outgoing."

If Manage All Folder Permissions via Groups is enabled, users do not automatically receive access permissions to the folder. You will need to assign the appropriate permissions to the folder and user separately.
