Concept
Context-Sensitive Path Permissions
You can manage permissions by configuring the permissions for a given user account or user account group to a certain object in the System Tree pane or List View and below that object, for example, a folder and its contents.
You need to have the required permissions to be able to view and configure user account or user group permissions to an object.
When you configure the permissions to an object, the user account and user groups that have permissions to the object are listed. You can add user accounts or user groups that you want to grant permissions to the object.
You can manually configure the permissions a user account or user group has to an object. You can also configure the object to inherit its permissons from a path above the object in the System Tree pane or List View. When you configure an object to inherit its permissions, you get an indication in the user interface that the permissions are inherited and also the specific permission level the user account or user group has to the object. You cannot configure an object to inherit the permissions from a path above this object unless you have permissions to that path.
