Change file permissions
You can set file permissions to automatically restrict which visitors to your page can see a file, or set a password, which will allow anyone who knows the password to view the file.
Note: To assign permissions for others to view or edit files, you need admin permissions for the page containing the uploaded files. When you upload a file, it inherits permissions from the current page.
