Add or Remove a Storage View in the Frontend Workspace

This article shows how to use Add storage view to expose another eligible connection as a panel and remove non-required panels without changing the underlying Workspace or connection configuration.

What you need to know

  • Copy/Move authorization is directional: QCSB checks the source-side permission and the destination-side permission independently.
  • Move is destructive only after the destination has been written and verified; the source is Recovery-protected before removal.

How to do it

  1. Open the frontend Workspace.
  2. Use Add storage view to choose another available connection for the current layout.
  3. The connection must already belong to the Workspace and the current user must have browse permission before it can be opened as a visible panel.
  4. Close/remove a panel from the current layout when it is no longer needed. This changes the user’s layout, not the administrator’s Workspace definition.
  5. Use Reset layout if the saved panel arrangement becomes confusing or you want to return to the configured default.

Verify the result

  • An allowed normal account can open the intended Workspace.
  • An account outside the allowed rules cannot use the Workspace/action.
  • Connection overrides and source/destination permissions behave exactly as configured.

Important limits and mistakes to avoid

  • Do not bypass failed recovery protection to force a destructive action. The block is intentional safety behavior.
  • A successful Super User test does not prove a normal Joomla group has correct Workspace access. Test with the real role.

Troubleshooting

  • If an action is missing/denied, check Joomla menu access, Workspace allowed group, Workspace role, custom denies, connection override, and plan gate separately.
  • If a file action fails, retry with one small test item and read Transfer Details or the operation toast before changing global settings.
