Folder settings
Folders have general settings and security settings for Folder permissions.
Folders have the following settings:
- General settings
-
- Name — you must make the name of the Folder unique within the Folder in which you create it. In a BluePrint, this naming constraint extends to any Parent or Child Publications in the BluePrint.
- Linked Schema — (optional) the default Schema for Components created in this Folder.
- Linked Schema is mandatory — (optional) Components created in this Folder can only use the Linked Schema.
- Metadata Schema — (optional) allows you to specify data in metadata fields that can contain values for the Folder. If these fields are mandatory, you must fill the fields in before you can save the Folder.
- Publishable — (optional) A checkbox that determines whether Content Manager can publish Components located in the Folder. This setting is selected by default.
- Folder permissions
-
By default, a new Folder inherits security settings from the Folder in which you create it.
- Inherit security settings from Parent — the Folder inherits security settings from the Folder in which you nest this Folder. You can only change User and Group permissions or Exceptions if you clear this value. If you select this setting, the Content Manager removes any previous settings.
- Users and Group permissions — you can set Read, Write, Localize, and Delete permissions for this Folder for each User or Group that has access to this Publication. If you modify them, the Folder will no longer inherit security settings from the Parent Folder.
- Read — the user or group can view items in the Folder
- Write — the user or group can create or edit the items for which they have rights
- Delete — the user or group can delete items for which they have rights
- Localize — the user or group can create a local copy of a shared BluePrint items for which they have rights
- Exceptions — exceptions override other permission settings and deny specified user or group read, write, localize and/or delete permissions.
