Understanding Folder Action Permissions

Folder Action permissions determine which actions a User can perform with the objects in a particular folder. For example, all Users may only be able to create or edit Books in a particular folder, or certain Users may be able to edit a particular type of object, but not delete it.

Usually Implemented for Groups Rather Than Individuals

Folder Actions are usually implemented for Groups of Users, rather than individual Users. Think particularly about which roles in your team involve setting and managing standards, and which roles you wouldn't want involved in that.

Restricted Access

You are likely to implement restricted access to certain types of objects (like styles or topic templates), to ensure consistency of standards across your team.

Inheriting Folder Action Permissions

When you create a new folder, it will inherit the Folder Action permissions that apply to its parent folder. You can change these later.
