Folder properties
Users And Groups. Lists the repository users and groups that have at least Rea d access to this
folder. Selec t the Write and Delete check boxes to add those access rights for this folder to a
particular user or g r oup. Click the Add Users/Groups icon on the right side of the Permissions
tab to assign access to additional users and groups. Th e list of available users and groups is
controlled by the administrator.
Cascade Permissions. Choose an option to control how c hanges made to the current folder are
applied to its child folders, if any.
 Cascade all permissions. Cascades permission settings from the current folder to all child and
descendant folders. This is a quick way t o set permissions for several folders at once. Set
permissions as required fo r the p arent folder, and then c ascade as required.
 Cascade changes only. Cascades only chang es made since the last time changes w ere applied.
For exa mple, if a new group has been added and you want to give it acces s to all folders under
the Sales branch, you can give the group access to the root Sales folder and cascade the
change to all subfolders. A ll other permissions to existing subfolders remain as before.
 Do not cascade. Any changes made apply to the current folder only and do not cascade
to child folders.
