Box Hubs Permissions

There are four levels of permissions in Box Hubs: Admin, Co-Owner, Editor, and Viewer.

Admin can only enable Box Hubs for specific users/user groups.
Co-Owner has the broadest permissions.
Editor has the same permissions as a Co-Owner, except for creating and deleting a Hub, and managing Hub settings.
Viewer cannot make any changes to the Hubs they are invited to.

Below table lists all actions each of them can perform in Hubs.

If you access Box Hubs through a shared link and you have an editor access to some files or folders, you cannot edit them from a Hub level. For more information on shared links, see Creating Shared Links.
Granting a user access to a Hub automatically gives them Viewer permissions to all files and folders in that Hub. This does not apply to external or Box links embedded in the Hub using Link Preview or Link Cards.
If a folder Uploader is invited to a Hub as Viewer, the folder Uploader permissions to the content change to Viewer/Uploader.
