What are granular data room permissions?

Granular permissions let you control access at the file and folder level. Not just who enters your data room, but exactly what each person can view, download, or interact with inside it.

Who controls permissions in a data room?

The data room owner has full control over permissions. You can assign and adjust access for every user individually, at any time, without notifying them.

How do I set file and folder permissions for different users?

In Ellty, you assign permissions directly from the data room interface. Select a user or group, choose which files and folders they can access, and set their permission level: view only, downloadable, or no access.

What happens when I revoke a user's permissions?

The moment you revoke access, that user loses the ability to open any files or folders in your data room. It takes effect instantly and without any notification being sent to them.

What are granular permissions?

Granular permissions let you control access at the exact level your deal requires — not just who enters your data room, but what each person can see, open, and download inside it.

Instead of giving everyone the same level of access, you set individual rules for every file and folder. One investor sees the financials but not the legal docs. An advisor can view but not download. A counterparty gets access to one folder and nothing else.

Key features for your data room permissions

Control exactly who accesses what, at every level of your data room.

Upload your documents

Upload pitch decks, financials, legal agreements, and supporting documents. Organize by folder and deal stage. Set granular viewing permissions by user or group — and give each counterparty access to exactly what they need, nothing more.

Get started

Organise your files

Structure your data room the way your deal is structured. Create folders, set a logical index, and make it easy for anyone with access to find what they need without asking. A well-organised data room signals professionalism and keeps the process moving.
