Allow a resource to inherit permissions

Permissions determine which users can perform which actions on specific resources in the system from which computers. Set
Allow
 and
Deny
 permissions on resources.
Allow a resource to inherit permissions when the selected resource has the same permissions as its parent resource. For example, if assigning security to an area in an application, all of the items in the area inherit the security settings of the area. By default, the area inherits security settings from the application. The top of the hierarchy is the network directory or local directory.
To allow a resource to inherit permissions
  1. In
    FactoryTalk Administration Console
    Explorer
    , right-click the resource, then select
    Security
    .
  2. In
    Security Settings
    , on the
    Permissions
     tab, clear
    Do not inherit permissions
    .
  3. To remove explicit permissions, clear the black check mark next to
    Allow
     or
    Deny
    . Inherited permissions appear as gray check marks and cannot be removed. However, explicit permissions supersede inherited permissions.
  4. Select
    OK
    .
    TIP:
    Security settings configured for resources apply to all
    FactoryTalk
     products in the system in the current
    FactoryTalk
     directory. For example, if a user and computer are denied
    Read
     access to an area, that user and computer cannot see the area in any of the
    FactoryTalk
     products in the system.
