Inherit and Propagate Authorizations

You can propagate authorizations saved for the current object selection to all substructures (for example all underlying directories).

To do this, choose Propagate All Authorizations to Substructures ().

You can select authorizations that have been defined for a higher level (for example, a higher-level directory) to inherit and assign to the current level.

To do this, choose Inherit Selected Authorizations (). In the following dialog, select the authorizations that you want to inherit for the current level, and choose Apply.
