As an administrator, you can give other users permission to upload CSV, Excel and selected document file types as a source, without requiring administration privileges. This permission does not grant access to Designer, give users permission to see any sources or items in Designer, or give permission to upload files via Sync. The file upload process takes place outside of the Designer module and the uploaded files display in the file list in the Designer data sources panel.
Giving users the ability to upload files is useful when you want to delegate the responsibility of uploading new versions of a file. For example, if you upload a budget file for the current financial year into Designer, any users with permission to upload files can replace (overwrite) that file as required, such as to upload the budget for the next financial year.
On the user’s Profile tab, scroll down to the File Upload settings and select the Allow File Upload checkbox.
Users with permission to upload files will see the File upload link at the bottom of the database list (underneath the New Database link). See Upload a file for detailed steps.
After a user uploads a file, they should contact you to let you know the new file is available.
