# Folders Overview

Folders organize your targets, evaluations, and scans, and control who can see and
change them. Every target and evaluation lives in at most one folder; scans belong to
the folder of their parent target or evaluation. Folder content is visible only to the
folder's members — see [Roles & Access](/docs/red/folder-roles) for the exact
permissions.

## Built-in folders

Every account starts with two folders that behave differently from the ones you create:

1. **Your personal folder.** Private to you. It cannot be shared, renamed, or deleted,
   and content in it is visible to you only. If you use AI Red Teaming without an
   organization, all of your content lives here.
2. **The organization folder**, shown as **Everyone at \{your organization}**. Every
   member of your organization belongs to it automatically, so it is the natural home
   for shared work. It cannot be renamed or deleted.

## Create a folder

Any organization member can create folders. The creator becomes the folder's admin.

#### Open the folder list

On the **Targets**, **Evaluations**, or **Scans** page, open the folder dropdown in
the toolbar. Alternatively, go to **Settings** → **Manage folders**.

#### Create

Select **New folder** and enter a name.

#### Add members

Open the folder's settings (gear icon in the folder dropdown, or the **Members** tab
under **Manage folders**) to invite organization members and assign their
[roles](/docs/red/folder-roles). The gear icon opens a quick settings dialog for the
folder's members and API keys; the gear in the dialog's header takes you to the full
**Manage folders** page.

## Filter by folder

The folder dropdown on the Targets, Evaluations, and Scans pages scopes the list to one
folder. **Show all** lists content from every folder you belong to — not the whole
organization.

## Choose a destination when creating content

The create forms for targets and evaluations include a **Folder** field that determines
where the new item lands. It defaults to the folder you are currently filtering by. The
choices are the organization folders where you can add content, plus your personal
folder: content placed there is a private draft, visible to you only, until you move it
to a shared folder. Outside an organization there is only your personal folder, so the
field is hidden and content is placed automatically.

## Move content between folders

You can move a target or evaluation from its row menu (⋮ → **Move to folder**) or from
its detail page. A move needs write access on both ends: you must be allowed to move the
item out of its current folder and to add content to the destination. Your personal
folder is always a valid destination for your own moves. Scans move with their parent
target or evaluation.

## API keys

API keys are scoped to a folder: a key can only access targets, scans, and evaluations
in the folder it belongs to. You pick the folder when creating a key under **Settings**
→ **API Keys**. Deleting a folder revokes its keys.

## Delete a folder

Only a folder admin can delete it, from the folder's **General** tab under **Settings**
→ **Manage folders** — renaming lives there too. Because every target and evaluation
lives in a folder, deleting one asks what happens to its contents:

1. **Move contents to another folder.** Pick any organization folder you can add content
   to; the folder's targets and evaluations move there, and scans follow their parent.
   Personal folders are not offered — a deleted folder can contain other members' work,
   which must stay visible to the organization.
2. **Delete all contents.** The folder's targets, evaluations, and their scans are
   deleted; running scans are cancelled.

Either way, the folder's API keys are revoked.
