Folder Security

From SmartWiki

Folders created within an existing folder “inherit” the security of the higher-level folder.

If you can change the security at any level it will be changed for lower level folders.

In this example, you will enable everyone to access the External folder, and then restrict access to sub-folders to specific organisations.

1. Click the Lookup button – next to the Organisations allowed to view this folder.

The Select Organisation window is displayed.

2. Click the Everyone check box at the bottom of the screen.

3. Click the Save button.

Everyone is added to the Read access organisations list.

To save time, View and Modify are both set at the same time when you first permission a folder.

4. Click the Save button.

Everyone is added to the Write access companies list.

5. Click the Save button.

The new folder is created.
