Set folder-level permissions

The following table explains the permissions settings for Pentaho Repository content and folders:

Type	Value
Read	If set, the content of the file or contents of the directory will be accessible. Allows execution.
Manage Access Control	If set, access controls can be changed for this object.
Write	If set, enables read and write access to the selected content.
Delete	If set, the content of the file or directory can be deleted.

Note: You must assign both Write and Manage Access Control to a directory in order to enable the selected user to create subfolders and save files within the folder.

You can assign any of these permissions to files and folders stored in a Pentaho Repository. Setting permissions manually overrides inherited permissions if the access control flags allow.

Perform the following steps to set folder-level permissions:

Open the Repository Explorer (Tools > Repository > Explore).
Navigate to the folder to which you want permissions set and click to select it.
The folder must appear in the right pane before you can set permissions.
In the lower pane, under the Permissions tab, disable Inherit security settings from parent.
Click Add to open the Select User or Role dialog box.
Select a user or role to add to the permission list.
1. Use the yellow arrows to move the user or role in or out of the permissions list.
2. Click OK when you are done.
In the lower pane, under the Access Control tab, enable the appropriate Permissions granted to your selected user or role.

If you change your mind, use Delete to remove users or roles from the list.
Click Apply to apply permissions.
