Permissions for Descendants

To give the permissions for descendants, right-click a root folder or descendant folder and or Select the Permissions for Descendants option. In the Permissions for Descendant Folders and Shortcuts window, configure the permissions for the underlying sub-folders and shortcuts.

Note: Assign permissions again to those objects that are created within the folder after these permissions are set. Such objects will not inherit the permissions from their parent.

   • Change Parent

5. Click Save.

Descendant Shortcuts Tab

Use the Descendant Shortcuts tab to review the permissions for shortcuts contained within the root or parent folder.
