How can a team member get permission to rename files?

What are the steps involved in giving permission to a dropbox team member for them to rename files?

    Thanks for your post, Raymond Valinoti.

    In general, all users should be able to rename files with these steps

    However, since you're referring to the team members of a Dropbox team, is there any chance you want them to rename team folders instead? 

    If yes, then the team admin will need to adjust the team’s top-level content management setting this way to grant the members with the permission to rename this kind of folders.

    Let me know if I’ve misunderstood something, though.
