Creating Folders

Creating new folders enables you to further organize your components and plans. You can create new folders using three methods.

• By specifying new subfolders and their permissions from the Folders page. See How to Create Folders.

• By creating new subfolders on the fly in the Change Folder pop-up window. Use this method when performing the tasks with plans and components. See How to Create a Component in Sun N1 Service Provisioning System 5.1 Plan and Component Developer’s Guide and Creating Plans in Sun N1 Service Provisioning System 5.1 Plan and Component Developer’s Guide.

• By generating parent folders automatically through the CLI. For more information on how to generate parent folders with the CLI, see fdb.f.add in Sun N1 Service Provisioning System 5.1 Command-Line Interface Reference Manual.

When you create a new folder, the path of the folder is determined by the folder that is selected at the time the new folder is created. For information about how to change the folder's path after the folder has been created, see How to Move Folders.

The owner user group and permissions of the new folder default to the permissions of the parent folder. For information about how to change a folder's permissions, see How to Modify the Folder Permissions of a User Group.
