Assigning Permissions to a Public Folder
When you create a Public Folder, you are configured as an 'owner' of that folder, and so you have full access to configure permissions on the folder.
By default, everyone in your organization is assigned the 'Publishing Author' permission level to your new folder. You can leave this alone, or you can assign users or groups with the desired permission level by following the steps below:
Right-click on the Public Folder you created in the steps under “Creating Public Folders” (above).
Select “Properties” and then “Permissions”.
Change the permissions for everyone in your organization
To change the permissions for everyone in your organization, you can modify the '...OU_Users...' and '...BaseVis...' group permissions.
Click the group, then choose a “Permission Level” from the “Permission Level” dropdown list. You can also define a custom permission level by selecting the different options available under “Read”, “Write”, “Delete items” and “Other” sections.
Once you are done, click “OK”.
Grant specific users or groups more access than the default permission level for all users in your organization
Click “Add..”
Select the users or groups that you want to have access to the Public folder, and then choose a “Permission Level” from the “Permission Level” dropdown list. You can also define a custom permission level by selecting the different options available under “Read”, “Write”, “Delete items” and “Other” sections.
Once you are done, click “OK”.
