Folder Permissions and Owners

Folder Permissions and Owners

When you copy or replace a folder, the wizard copies all permissions for the source folder owner to the target folder. The wizard does not copy permissions for users, groups, or all others in the repository to the target folder. When you replace a folder, the wizard retains the target folder permissions for users, groups, and all others in the repository.
By default when you copy or replace a folder, the wizard assigns the source folder owner to the target folder. The wizard does not assign the source folder owner to the target folder in the following situations:
  • You choose to retain the target folder owner in the Copy Wizard.
  • You specify a different owner for the target folder in the Copy Wizard. You can select any user in the target PowerCenter domain.
  • You copy or replace the folder to a repository in a different PowerCenter domain, and the user name and security domain of the source owner do not exist in the target PowerCenter domain. The wizard assigns the user performing the copy as the target folder owner.
