Restore inheritance

Folders and files that have broken inheritance (different permissions) from their parent workspace or folder are shown with the broken inheritance overlay: Folder icon

Perform the steps described here to restore the permissions held by the parent workspace or folder.

For more information on inheritance, see Customizing access to folders or files.

  1. Click The Menu icon Manage Access
  2. In the This folder/file does not inherit role/permissions message, tap Inherit now.
  3. If restoring inheritance to a folder, do one of the following:
    • Select This folder only to apply the permissions to this folder only.
    • Select This folder and all its subfolders and files to apply the permissions to the folder and all its subfolders, including those with broken inheritance.

    The selected item inherits the access roles and permissions of the parent.

    If you selected This folder and all subfolders and files, the inherited permissions are applied to all sub-folders or files that inherit permissions from the folder for which you are restoring inheritance. Any sub-folders or files that have broken inheritance are not affected by this change.

  4. If restoring inheritance to a file, in the confirmation message, tap Inherit.
