Edit rights in teams

Team members with edit access to a teams drive may share this access to other users both inside and outside the team. Team members may even convert folders into :ref:`shared folders <shared_folders>` and delegate their access to anybody they want.

You therefore have to be careful with whom you grant edit rights. You may also want to

set the :ref:`role <team_roles_and_permissions>` of a member to viewer and selectively share edit rights to this person.

use :ref:`access lists <access_list>` to limit the access to a file to specific contacts.

The team communication is encrypted with static keys. This implies that a former team member still has the keys. A former team member can therefore potentially decrypt team messages and can also keep the same access to the team's document as before. However, this requires to modify the client source code as the official one does neither store the keys nor decrypt any messages of a team which the user is not part of.
