To Set Folder and Document Permissions on Various Objects in the Datasource
-
Do one of the following:
Right-click a datasource and select Properties.
or
Right-click a workflow and select Properties.

Right-click a state within a workflow and select Properties.

Do one of the following:
To configure folder security permissions, select the Folder Security tab.
or
To configure document security permissions, select the Document Security tab.
The Inherited from field at the top of the tab shows where any security item selected in the list is inherited from, such as a User in a State that is assigned to a Workflow that has been set access rights to that Workflow. Items that are inherited cannot be removed, but their permissions can be changed. If an inherited item's permissions are changed and saved, the item becomes an integral part of the object and the Inherited text shows: none (item own permissions).
If you want certain users not to have access to a specific item, you can achieve this in one of two ways. You can either add the users, who you do want to have permissions, to the item, thereby automatically excluding all users not listed from accessing the item; or, you can add the users you do not want to have permissions and set No Access for those users.
