Chapter 6 Managing Repository Documents

Copying permissions to child members

When you add a folder or a document to a parent folder, access permissions automatically apply to the new child members of the folder.

Then access permissions are split up: when you modify the permissions of the parent, the child members keep their original permissions and vice-versa. For example, you can modify the permissions on a package without affecting the permissions on the parent model.

If you want to restore the permissions of a parent over its child members, you have to use the Copy Permissions to All Children tool in the Permissions tab of the following property sheets:

To copy parent permissions to child members:

1. Right-click a parent node in the repository browser.
2. Select Permissions from the folder contextual menu.
   
   The node property sheet opens to the Permissions tab.
   
3. Click the Copy Permissions to All Children tool.
4. Click Apply.
   
   The permissions are copied to all child members, and the tool Copy Permissions to All Children tool is no longer pressed in the toolbar.
