To edit the permissions that are set for a folder, you must have Full Control permission for the folder. Read more about how permissions work in Permissions.
To edit folder permissions:
Select the folder you want to edit permissions for.
Click on the Edit... link to the right of the Permissions for Selected Folder title.
Response: The Folder Permissions dialog appears.
Select whether you want the
folder to inherit permissions from its parent folder, or if you want
to specify explicit permissions for it. Do this by selecting/deselecting
the Inherit permissions from parent
folder check box.
If you choose to inherit permissions then you cannot specify any more
details. Click OK and you
are done.
If you choose to set explicit permissions then proceed to the next
step.
When you clear the Inherit
permissions from parent folder check box, the permissions the
folder used to inherit are set explicitly. This gives you a template
to work from if you want to remove certain permissions or perhaps
add some.
In the search field, type in the name of the user or group you want
to add permissions for.
Tip: You can use wild cards (that is, asterisks "*"), to
simplify the search. For example, use a wild card to display all users
and groups, or append it to a word to display all users and groups
beginning with that word. Example: Group4* will find Group41, Group421
and so on.
Using the drop-down selector below the search field, select if you want to search only for Groups, only for Users or both Users and Groups.
Click Search.
Response: The users and/or groups matching the search criteria are displayed in the list to the left.
Select the appropriate users/groups in the list and click the > button of the permission level they should receive.
Repeat steps 4 through 7 until you have added all the users and groups to the permissions level you want.
To remove a user or group from a permission level, select it and click the < button for that permission level.
Click OK.
Response: The folder will be updated with the new permissions.
