Welcome back to our forum, lorenzomilesi! 

 

At the moment, I’m afraid this isn’t possible.

 

What you can do instead is create different groups with the users you want, based on the access you want them to have to the folder, so that it's easier to change the permissions each time.

 

Hope this helps a bit.
