Groups

Scramble Cloud’s Groups feature allows you to create secure, encrypted workspaces for teams, departments, or project-based collaboration. Within a group, members can share files and folders, assign roles with specific permissions, and work together efficiently — all protected by end-to-end encryption.

What are Groups in Scramble Cloud?

Groups are shared environments within your Scramble Cloud account that enable multiple users to collaborate on content in an organized and secure manner. Each group has its own members, permissions, and folder structure. All files and communication within a group are encrypted, ensuring that only authorized users have access.

Benefits of using Groups

  • Centralized collaboration – All project-related files are accessible in one shared space
  • Role-based access control – Assign permissions tailored to each team member’s responsibilities
  • Secure internal sharing – Files remain encrypted during storage and access
  • Change notifications – Members are alerted when files are added or modified

Group Roles and Permissions

Scramble Cloud provides a structured permission model to maintain control over access and actions within a group:

  • Viewer – Can view and download files but cannot make changes

Viewer role permissions

  • Member – Can upload and edit files, but lacks administrative privileges

Member role permissions

  • Contributor – Can create, modify, and share files and folders within the group

Contributor role permissions

  • Administrator – Manages members, assigns roles, and controls access settings

Administrator role permissions

  • Owner – Has full control over the group, including deletion rights

Owner role permissions

Security and Compliance

All data within a group is protected by end-to-end encryption. This means only group members with proper authorization can access the content — even Scramble itself cannot decrypt it. Scramble Cloud complies with leading security standards such as ISO 27001 and GDPR.
