# How to Manage the Quarantine Path for a Scan Playbook

For the scan playbooks you create in Spirion Sensitive Data Playbook the Manage Quarantine Paths feature can be used to set a quarantine path specific to a playbook. This quarantine path overrides the global quarantine settings (quarantine file path) located in Settings > Application Settings > Scans Settings, Remediation section.

For the scan playbooks you create in Spirion Sensitive Data Playbook the **Manage Quarantine Paths** feature can be used to set a quarantine path specific to a playbook. This quarantine path overrides the global quarantine settings (quarantine file path) located in **Settings > Application Settings > Scans Settings, Remediation** section.

Multiple quarantine paths separated by a comma can be entered for each environment (Amazon S3, Google Drive, OneDrive, SharePoint, etc.).

**Note***: UNC paths are supported for workstations and remote file servers, and standard file systems.*

## User Permissions Required to Use Manage Quarantine Paths

A user must have the following permissions or be a member of a role that has the permssions:

-   Each user has full permissions to the playbooks they create ("owner" rights)
-   Administrator users have full permissions to all playbooks
-   Non-admin users (who did not create the playbook) require the "Manage" permission. This can be set at the User or Role level.
-   -   User Level:
    -   -   Navigate to Settings > User Management, USERS tab
        -   For a specific user select more options at the far right of the table row, select "Manage permssions" from the drop-down menu
        -   Select the PLAYBOOKS tab.
        -   Under the Playbook Access (User) column for the specific playbook, select "Manage" from the drop-down menu.
        -   See "[How to Change a User's Playbook Permissions](https://https//dm0bkdes5q7a2ls.productfruits.help/en/article/user-management-how-to-change-a-users-tag-permissions-copy-copy)"
        -   Below is an example screenshot for a user Role (as with Users, the PLAYBOOKS tab contains the permissions for each scan playbook). Changing the access for a specific playbook here affects all users who are members of this role.

9.  Enter the desired **quarantine file path** for each selected environment.  
    **Note**: Playbook quarantine locations override the [global quarantine configuration](https://dm0bkdes5q7a2ls.productfruits.help/en/article/manage-remediation-settings#quarantine-settings) (found in Settings > Application Settings > Scans Settings > Remediation section).  
    Multiple quarantine paths separated by a comma can be entered per environment.

10.  Cloud Targets can also quarantine to cloud locations.
11.  1.  For example, with a **Google Cloud** Target the following are valid path formats:
     2.  1.  **C:\\Quarantine\_Folder** - This entry would cause all files on this target to be quarantined to a folder on the agent host system performing the scan.
         2.  **\\\\RemoteServer\\Quarantine\_Folder** - This entry would cause all files to be quarantined to a remote folder.
         3.  **Google Drive: user@account.com/Quarantine\_Folder** - This entry would cause all files on this cloud provider to be quarantined to a specified Google Drive folder.  
             **Note**: To quarantine files to Microsoft OneDrive, the entire location path must be written in lowercase.
     3.  For example, **OneDrive paths** must be formatted exactly as follows:
     4.  1.  **Microsoft OneDrive**: user@domain.com/quarantinefolder
12.  Click the **Confirm** button.
