7.3. Folder Sharing

To control a folder's sharing permissions, go to the tree folder on the left, right click on the folder you wish to set permissions on, choose Sharing or Properties and in the new window select the Folder Permissions tab. When accessing this tab for a folder a list of the already defined permissions is displayed. If no permission has been previously set the list will be blank.

Check the Apply to subfolders option so the permissions set for the current folder will be automatically applied to its sub-folders. Click the Add button to add a user or a group of users and set the permission level on the folder. There are 6 levels to choose from:

No access (all permissions are denied)
Viewer (view and read folder is allowed)
Contributor (view, read folder and add items is allowed)
Editor (view, read folder, set/clear flags, add items, mark items as deleted/not deleted and expunge is allowed)
Master (all permissions are allowed)
Custom (each permission is defined individually according to your needs)

Each permission may be allowed explicitly, denied explicitly or not specified. Permissions act hierarchically (are inherited on the group hierarchy). Additionally, resource hierarchies (a folder being parent to another folder) also benefit from the inheritance algorithm. In the Effective Permissions tab you will be able to see what permissions are specifically allowed or not.

IMPORTANT! In the same way domain Postmasters set permissions for Public Folders.
