Folder Access Rights

When you select the Folder Tree > Advanced > Access Rights command to display the Folder Access Rights dialog box, you see two folder nodes. The rights available from This Folder node apply to the selected folder only. The rights available from the Child Folders node apply to all the child folders of the selected folder. The dialog and following table refer to the current folder. The table describes the access rights that are available from the This Folder node in the Folder Access Rights dialog box.

Note: Because This Folder has no Generic item container subcategory for access rights, container rights for This Folder are on its Child Folders node. If This Folder is the root folder, these rights are set on the Child Folders node of the View Access Rights dialog box.
