Copying Privileges to Another Resource
You can set privileges on a resource in several ways. One way, described here, is to copy privileges from an existing container or resource to another container or resource.
To model privilege settings on the settings of an existing resource
1. Right-click select the container or resource that has the privileges you want to apply.
2. Select the Copy Privileges function. A window for selecting the target resource opens.
3. Select the container or resource that is to receive the copied privileges.
Note: The target container or resource receives new settings only for privileges common to the source and target. For example, privileges for a table are a subset of privileges for a container, so only table-level privileges are changed.
If you want all the resources contained in the selected target to have the same privileges, check the Copy Privileges into Target Descendants check box.
If you do not copy permissions from the parent folder into the target descendants, you or the administrator must modify the descendants’ privileges directly.
