Set folder permissions - Data360_Analyze - Latest

By default, permissions are inherited from parent folders. For example, if you create a sub-folder within the Public Documents folder, the sub-folder will inherit the permissions that have been set on the Public Documents folder.

You cannot change the permission level of the top-level Public Documents and My Documents folders, but as an administrator you can change the permission level of a sub-folder.

1. From the Directory, click the menu button to the right of the folder for which you want to set permissions, then select Edit Permissions.
2. From the Edit Permissions dialog, you can change the default permission level of a folder, as follows:Setting a basic permission level

   Clear the Inherit permissions from parent container check box, then select the required level of access from the Permissions menu to the right of the user or group.

   If the user or group to which you want to assign permissions is not already listed, you can search for additional users or groups in the Add a user or group list.

   Choose from the following basic permission levels:

   • No Access - The user or group cannot view or edit the contents or metadata of the folder.
   • Read Only - The user or group can view the folder metadata and folder contents in read only mode.
   • Read and Execute - The user or group can view and run data flows and schedules within the folder.
   • Write and Execute - The user or group can edit and run data flows and schedules within the folder.
   • Full Access - The user or group can open and edit items in the folder, and edit the permission level of the folder and documents in the folder.
   Advanced permission control
   Note: In most cases, you can use the basic permission settings to achieve the desired results. Before using the advanced permission settings, carefully consider whether it is necessary.

   To further customize the permission level of a folder, click the Advanced tab, then select any combination of the following permissions:

   • Read - The user or group can see the folder metadata.
   • Read Contents - The user or group can see the contents of the folder.
   • Write - The user or group can edit the folder metadata.
   • Write Contents - The user or group can add items to and remove items from the folder.
   • Execute - The user or group can run data flows and schedules stored in the folder (assuming the data flow or schedule is inheriting permissions from the folder).
   • Edit Permissions - The user or group can edit the permission level of the folder and documents in the folder.
3. Click Apply Changes to assign the selected permission levels.
