Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for managing folders. An embodiment includes a database and a messaging server. The messaging server generates a folder management graphical user interface (GUI) that includes a plurality of input fields for receiving commands. The messaging server and the folder management GUI receive a command from a global matter administrator to create a matter folder and permissions specifying which role a user must have to access the matter folder. The matter folder may carry at least one file and chat channel. In response to the command, the messaging server generates the matter folder in the database. The messaging server controls access to the matter folder as specified in the permissions such that the user is able to view or modify the at least one file and chat channel only if the user has a role allowed within the permissions.
