How can I change View permissions for all the contents of a Document Library folder?

Issue

• When I change the View permissions for a folder, the new permissions aren't reflected in the permissions window of any child folders or files within the parent folder.
• How can I change View permissions for all the child folders and files within the parent folder at once?

Environment

• Quarterly Releases

Resolution

• Files and child folders inherit View permissions from their parent folder if the property permissions.view.dynamic.inheritance is set to true.
• This property is set to true by default.

 # Set the following to true to automatically check the view permission on
# parent categories or folders when checking the permission on a specific
# item.
#
# For example, if set to true, to be able to have access to a document, a
# user must have the view permission on the document's folder and all its
# parent folders. Or, to have access to a comment, a user must have the view
# permission on the comments's category and all its parent categories.

permissions.view.dynamic.inheritance=true

Additional Information

• See Document Library Permissions Are Not Inherited Between Parent and Child Folders/Files for more details on how this property works.
• We are currently working on a feature request at LPD-55660 to make permission inheritance more apparent from the UI.
