A file mount is the assignment of a file directory to accounts within TYPO3. This allows you to control who has access to which files. This can be useful, for example, if editors should only be able to use images from a specific folder.

By default, all easyWeb usershave access to the entire file system. Use the file share management if you want to change this behavior.

You can select existing file mounts or create new file mounts and assign them to users.

Giving access to a folder includes access to all following subfolders.

For the following instructions you need to keep the following in mind:

1. You must be logged in as a site admin.
2. Call the User Admin module.
3. Select the Edit field (pencil) of the user - It can be alternatively clicked directly on the user.
4. Switch to the Mounts and Workspaces tab.
5. At the bottom of the page you will find the File Mounts section.
