How do private folders (my grids) work?

This feature allows all members of Method Grid i.e. the different member base roles (architect, builder, user) and "External" members, to have their own private area in which they can build and store their own grids. 

Grids developed within a my grids folder can be moved to the main grid library. To move a grid from your private folder, in edit mode, you simply drag-and-drop (left hand mouse click) the grid from within the folder pane and move it to the desired new folder position in the main grid library. 

Please note that you must have edit or manage permission to any recipient folder (if you do not have this permission, you will not be able to move the grid into that folder).

With configurable access control, grids moved from your private library inherit the permissions of the folder in which they are moved to; in addition, the creator of the grid (the owner of the private folder) retains "manage" rights to the grid in its new position. 

Account architects can view all private folders within your Method Grid account.

To view a private folder, as an architect, click first on the Members option in the left-hand navigation bar. Next, click on the more actions button for the member and select private folder to open that member's private folder.
