I am trying to do this for subfolders that get updated by a workflow and change permissions for different user groups. I have a blanket security set up to trickle down using the most basic inherited rights on the parent folder.

After a scheduled workflow runs and checks a SQL query, if the folder's status is 'closed', then all editing permissions are removed (not denied). I would have to override the inherited permissions to do this.

I am trying not to have to move the 'closed' folders for user friendly browsing. I could simply move the 'closed' folders to where they could inherit the new permissions, but would rather not if at all possible. 

Thank you in advance!
