Resetting VFS Folder Permissions

When you reset VFS folder permissions on a parent folder, you force the subfolders to mirror the parent folder's permissions. This simplifies the permissions status of these folders, making them more predictable.

Resetting folder permissions from a parent folder differs from manually changing the inheritance values of subfolders. In a subfolder, you have the option either to mirror the parent folder's permissions or to keep permissions for any new users and Groups you have added while also mirroring the permissions for all Groups in the parent folder.

To reset folder permissions from a parent folder

  1. In EFT Administrator, connect to EFT Server and click the VFS tab.

  2. In the left pane, right-click the parent folder you want to configure, then click Reset Subfolders.

  3. Click OK.
