Permissions for folders and files can be specified on a Web User account and on the Web User Groups to which they belong. Conflicts can occur when an Alias specified for a folder or file matches another Alias at the same level. For example, when a subfolder called 'inbound' is defined on the Web User and on the Web User Group of which it is a member. When the Consolidate Subfolders option is enabled, the permissions for a folder or file are consolidated between all duplicate aliases found. When disabled, the permissions are taken from the first reference found, starting with the Web User account first followed by Web User Groups in sequential order.
