Folder Permissions

Permissions (authorities) for a folder can be granted to individual Admin Users and Groups of Admin Users. There are three different types of folder permissions that can be granted: Read, Write and Execute.

Permission	Description
Read	Allows Project Designers to view, copy and promote Projects contained within the folder.
Write	Allows Project Designers to change and delete the folder, as well as create, change and delete Projects contained within the folder.
Execute	Allows Admin Users to execute Projects contained within the folder.

For instance, you may have Projects in a folder that only certain Admin Users should be able to execute. Additionally, if you do not want these Admin Users to change the Projects in the folder, then you would only give the Admin Users the folder permission of

Execute

By default, a new folder will be granted the same permissions as the parent folder (the folder containing the new folder).

If an Admin User does not have read, write or execute permission for a Project folder, the folder and the Projects inside it are not displayed. However, if an Admin User has permissions to a subfolder, but not its parent folder, then the user will still be able to drill down through the parent folder to gain access to the subfolder.
