I have a feeling that there is not a way to do this, but on the outside chance that someone has a solution I thought I would ask.

Part of our folder structure in the repository resembles this:

Students

->Student Financial Services

->File Room

->Marley, Bob 1234567 (Student last name, first name ID#)

->1. Financial Aid Award Information

->2. Loan Information

->3. Verification Documents

->4. Scholarship Information

->5. Misc Information

->6. Payments and Charges

->7. Satisfactory Academic Progress

Each student has a structure similar to this.

It would be helpful to grant access to an individual to just the 5. Misc Information folder level so that the individual could audit the documents. Without touching every single student folder and changing permissions for each, is there a way to allow to see what at that 5. Misc Information level?

Workflow can assign permissions as long as you have a programmatic way to identify the correct user/group for each folder.

A user does not need browse rights to the parent folder to view/work in subfolders. The caveat is they cannot browse to the subfolder without browse rights on every parent. They have to go DIRECTLY to the subfolder where they have access. Probably with a shortcut..

My issue is not really assigning the permission. My issue is assigning the permission en masse to about 12k folders at the same time without having to explicitly grant it to 12k different folders. I was hoping there was some slick way to do this without touching ever folder, which is a deal-breaker.
