NSF Folders Commands

Nested Shared Folders for folder-level commands

Overview

With the introduction of Nested Shared Folders with Role-Based Folder Permissions, we’ve rebuilt the vault’s folder, sharing and permissions model from the ground up, delivering a more flexible and scalable experience for every user and team.

Operations Supported

The Following operations are supported by NSF Shared Folders

1. List NSF Shared Folders

2. Get NSF Shared Folders

3. Add NSF Shared Folders

4. Edit NSF Shared Folders

5. Delete NSF Shared Folders

6. Share NSF

7. Unlink Record From Folder

8. Link Record to Folder

Note: In case you are using classic permission model, please refer to Shared Folder Commands

Create Folder command

Creates a new folder in Keeper NSF using the v3 API. Optionally places the folder under a parent, assigns a color, and controls whether permissions are inherited from the parent.

DotNet CLI

Command: nsf-mkdir

Parameters:

Parameter	Description
--name	Name of the folder to create (required)
--parent	UID of the parent folder. If omitted, the folder is created at the Keeper NSF root
--color	Optional folder color
--no-inherit	If specified, the new folder will not inherit permissions from its parent

Examples:

My Vault> nsf-mkdir "a12" --parent MQ8GwV3F1sQvGmXt-4zv2A --color green --no-inherit
Folder 'a12' created successfully (UID: SDFAcBPpPETVmRKWyD-qHw).

DotNet SDK

Function:

var vault = new VaultOnline(auth);
await vault.SyncDown();
string rootFolderUid = await vault.CreateKeeperNSFFolder(folderName);
Console.WriteLine($"Created root folder: {rootFolderUid}");
string childFolderUid = await vault.CreateKeeperNSFFolder(
    folderName: folderName,
    parentFolderUid: parentFolderUid,
    color: color);
Console.WriteLine($"Created child folder: {childFolderUid}");
string isolatedFolderUid = await vault.CreateKeeperNSFFolder(
    folderName: folderName,
    parentFolderUid: parentFolderUid,
    color: null,
    inheritPermissions: false);
Console.WriteLine($"Created isolated folder: {isolatedFolderUid}");

Power Commander

Command: New-KeeperNSFFolder

Alias: nsf-mkdir

Parameters:

Parameter	Description
-Name	Name of the folder to create (required)
-ParentFolderUid	UID of the parent folder. If omitted, the folder is created at the Keeper NSF root
-Color	Optional folder color
-NoInheritPermissions	If specified, the new folder will not inherit permissions from its parent

Examples:
