contained within a project to which the member has Edit access. Typically,
you would assign file-level permissions only when you want to override
permissions for a single user on a single file. Excessive use of file-level
permissions can make your site difficult to manage.

Locking and Unlocking Permission Sets
Administrators can lock the permission set of a project, folder, or file. This
prohibits the permissions for an item from being affected by changes made
to project wide permissions. (You cannot lock the permission set for a form
log or an individual form.)
NOTE Locking a permission set is different from locking a file to be edited. For
details on locking a file for editing purposes, see
Locking and Unlocking a File
(page 187).
Though a file or folder may have its permission set locked, it is still possible
to unintentionally add a new member to the permission list. If you assign a
new member to a group that is included in a locked permission list, that new
member will receive access to the locked file or folder.
Adding new members to groups when a permission set is locked is not
recommended. It is further recommended that you do not assign groups to a
security-sensitive folder at all. Instead, add members individually to ensure
the security of a sensitive folder.
