Modifying Access Rights to a File or Folder Show me how>>>

Files and folders inherit access rights from the folder in which they reside. Users with appropriate privileges can modify access rights.

Performing these steps to a folder applies to the folder, and to its subfolders - unless you further modify the subfolders.

Performing these steps for a file applies only to the item with which you are working and does not impact access rights to other files.

Navigate to the file or folder whose access rights you want to modify. (How do I navigate to a file or folder?)
Click the drop-down arrow at the far right of the file/folder name.

Where is the drop-down arrow?
Click Edit Properties. The Edit Properties window displays.
Clear the check box next to Uncheck this box to remove inherited access controls... A confirmation dialog displays.
Click Yes to remove inherited access controls for the item. The Edit Properties refreshes and displays the set of properties you can modify for the item.
If you want to provide access to members, click next to Add Members in the role type to which you want to add users. The User Directory window displays.

Type the name (or partial name) of the user or group you want to add in the Type in name field.
If you want to restrict your search to individual users, click the Include drop-down arrow and select Users from the list.
Click Find. The screen refreshes, and the search results display.
Select the check box of the users and groups you want to add. The users display in the Selected People box.
Repeat steps a through d as required until you are finished adding users.
Click OK. The User Directory window closes and the added members display in the Edit Properties window.

If you want to remove access to the file or folder, click , the wastebasket icon, next to the users and groups whose access you want to remove.
Click OK.
