To add permissions to multiple folders:
Note: This option does not enable you to use the existing permissions for the selected folders. For example, if a user 'A' already has permission to one of the selected folders, and if the same user is selected again from the user group picker, then the user A's existing permissions will get overwritten with the new permissions.
- Go to your project or shell (User mode) and click the Document Manager node to expand.
- Click the Documents sub-node to open the Documents log (for Project Documents).
- Select multiple folders.
- From the toolbar, click the Actions drop-down list and select Permissions to open the Permissions overlay page.
- On the Permissions overlay page, you can assign permissions to users or groups.
By default, permissions will be inherited from the common parent folder of all the chosen files. The inherited permissions will all be read-only. You have option to assign new permissions instead of choosing to inherit from parent folder.
The permissions of folder owners can never be removed. If you select multiple folders, add the folder owners from the users- or group-picker, and click Remove, Unifier removes the folder owners from the current permission window. Unifier does not remove permissions for the folder owner.
If you switch between the Inherit form parent folder <parent folder name> and Assign new permissions options, then all the inherited permissions are removed and the Permissions page toolbar and grid is updated as if you are proceeding to create new permissions from scratch.
If you have already inserted one or more rows in the grid (manually or by copying from parent), and you decide to switch between the Assign new permissions and Inherit form parent folder <parent folder name> options, then Unifier displays a message stating that the manually added permissions will be erased and replaced with the inherited permissions. You will have the option to proceed or cancel.
