# About Folder Permissions

Click the image to view full size.

The folder permission model provides control over user access and activity within individual folders at all levels in the hierarchy. By default, everyone has full control of all folders so that folder security need not be considered if not required. Once permissions are altered on a given folder, child folders then inherit these permissions and this process can continue down the tree.

The Permissions tab of the Folder Properties dialog box contains two areas listed below in which user or group access and configuration activities for the folder are set:

Group or user names Area

This area contains a list of Users and Groups who have access to the folder. Two buttons are available below the list:

|  | The Add button pops up a dialog box containing a list of available Users and groups which may be selected and added to the list for the folder

|  | The Remove button deletes the selected User or Group from the list

Permissions for <user/group> Area

This area contains a list of folder permissions shown in the table below for the User or Group selected in the Group or user names area above. A check box is provided for each permission to allow it to be selected.

Permission | Function
--- | ---
Full Control | All functions are available.
Visible | The folder and its contents are visible.
Create Folder | New folders may be created.
Create | New Tasks may be created.
Read | The folder and its contents are not editable.
Execute | Tasks may be run using the Queue Now option from the drop down menu displayed when right clicking on a Task.
Edit Own | Tasks may only be edited by the Task owner.
Edit All | Any Task may be edited.
Delete Own | Folders may only be deleted by the folder creator. Tasks may only be deleted by the Task owner
Delete All | Any folder or Task may be deleted.

Selecting Propagate permissions to child folders displayed below the folder permissions, then applies the same permissions for the User to any sub folders.
