• Private (the user personal folder. No one but she can view the content of it)
• Current Courses
• Archived Courses
• Public (everyone can see everything here)
• Shared Folders (LAMS 2.1)

• Current Courses: Read access. The subfolders under the Current Courses folder are the actual Course Content Folders in which he/she is an Author, In the subfolders he/she will have:
  • Read, Write, Create permissions for all content in the folder. This implies that he/see can update items created by somebody else.
