Family Room - cannot customize sharing settings
Hi, I have a family plan and I'm the admin. That plan makes available to every member a shared folder "Archivio Famiglia" that stands for "Family Room" I guess. My need is to setup customized credent...

Apologies, I missed that - however, I believe its across the whole of the folder. So you should be able to change it at parent level

I'm looking at the parent level (Family Room), there is no settings about view/edit credentials. Nothing in gear-menu, nothing in settings tab. In member list section I can only remove member or grant to admin. Nothing else.
There's no governance of credentials in family room apparently.

Hello Jarno R.
Looking at the note at the bottom of the screenshot that you shared, it says files and folders in the Family Room folder automatically allow edit access to all Family plan members. So this means you can only get view/edit settings with regular shared folders, but not with folders in the "Family Room". All folders in the Family Room are editable by anyone in the family, with no possibility to change that.
Hope this helps.
