There are two categories of permissions. You assign permissions in each category from a different screen.

Traverse Folders

Access folders under the root folder. By default, the Everyone user group has permission to view all subfolders.

If you disable or modify the Everyone user group, and you want to grant users/groups permission to a folder other than the root folder, you must also assign Traverse permission. If you do not, the user cannot access the folder. In that case, the user cannot perform any other granted permissions.

Modify Preapproval

Set or update a folder’s preapproval group. See Also: Automatic Creation of Tasks Associated with Content

Note: To grant users the ability to copy or move content, assign to them the Move or Copy Role. See Also: Defining Roles
