Hi, I need to stop modifications in a shared folder on Box (the folder is big with many folders, subfolders and users) then I wonder if there is some way to convert all the permissions of the users to 'Viewer' (change the permissions manually would take a lot of time and meanwhile the users could continue adding or deleting files and folders).

Thanks

Regards

    Hi Carlos,

    Welcome to the Box Community and thanks for your post in the forum!

    Updating permissions on your folder is possible via API.

    You may post your questions in Platform and Developer Forum on how to utilize the API in changing permissions.

    Thanks again for posting and have a nice day!

    Best,
