What folder permissions do I need to set to prevent a group from being able to rename/delete or move a parent folder? The child folders they can do what ever they want.

Hi Jim,

You must assign access rights, you are located on the parent folder, right click and click on "Access right", you add the group with the scope "This entry only", and you deny the rights of "modify and delete".

regards,
Marco.

Typically it is best practice to avoid using "explicit" Deny whenever possible because it will override all other permissions. Also, Manage Security is checked in that image, which would allow the user to change those settings anyway.

All you need to do is remove Allow on the modify and delete rights and it will yield the same results; this is an "implicit" deny.

If you want to allow those actions for children and not the parent, just split it into two rules with different scope.

Allow browse, etc., for "This Entry Only", then allow the other permissions (modify, delete, etc.) for "Subfolders and documents only"

I know this is an old topic, but I think this is the solution to accidental folder moves: VERS Classification Levels

From what I've read, it looks like folders and files of a higher classification level cannot be moved to folders of a lower classification level, which should block accidental moves.
