Resetting VFS Folder Permissions

Resetting VFS folder permissions on a parent folder forces subfolders to exactly mirror those 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 because in a subfolder you have the option to either 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 the Administrator, connect to the server, then click the VFS tab.

  2. In the left pane, click the parent folder that you want to configure.

  3. Right-click the folder, then click Reset Subfolders.

  4. Click OK.
