Abstract

Systems and methods for root-level application selective configuration for managing performance of actions on files in a file system including an agent executed on a computing device. The agent can determine files stored in a particular folder and determine file metadata corresponding to the files based on a policy file. The agent can receive a selection of a particular file of the files that corresponds to one of the file metadata. The agent can determine an availability of one or more actions for the particular file as specified by file metadata. The agent can render a context menu that includes menu entries with one or more additional menu entry that corresponds to the actions based on the file metadata. The agent can perform an authentication of a current user account based on the policy file and cause the action to be performed based on privileges of the agent.
