Applying Permissions to Artifacts in a Folder

Note:

Permissions are applied only to artifacts within a folder in which a user has Full Control permission.

To apply permissions to artifacts in a folder:

1. From the Explore Repository, right-click a file or folder, and then select Apply Permissions to Children.
2. In the Apply Permissions to Children of the Selected Folder dialog box, select the users, groups, and roles to which you want to apply permissions.

   • To populate the list with all users, groups, or roles, select Update List.

   • To filter the list, select begin with, contain, or are in group, then enter the filter criteria, and then click Update List.

   If all of the artifacts are not listed, filter the list with criteria or contact your administrator. Your administrator determines the maximum number of artifacts to list. Wild cards are not supported and the filter is not case sensitive.

3. Move the desired users, groups, and roles to Selected Users, Groups and Roles.
4. From Selected Users, Groups and Roles, select a name from the Name column, and then click under the Access to Folder and Access to File columns to access a drop-down where you can select the following permissions:

   • Inherit

   • Full Control

   • Modify

   • View

   • No Access

5. From the Favorite drop down, select an option:

   • Pushed—Push the artifact to the users’ Favorites.

   • Not Pushed—View only if this is the only permission set.

6. Select one of the following:

   • Overwrite current permissions—Remove existing permissions and set new permissions.

   • Merge with the current permission—Redefine some permissions and add new permissions to the existing ones. The changes are applied to folder child elements recursively

     In a merge, if a user already exists in Apply Permissions to Children for some artifacts, and this user is granted new permissions, the new permissions are in force.

7. Click OK, and then Yes to change the permissions.
