Every rule folder can either be contained within another rule folder, or have no parent (a "top-level" rule folder). Sub-folders and rules can inherit security from the parent folder or security can be explicitly set for each object.
Rule security defines the right to create, update, view, and delete a rule or rule folder.
Security parameters can be defined separately for a folder and its rules. To access a rule, a user must have permission to access both the rule and the folder that contains the rule.
By default, sub-folders inherit the security of the parent folder. To view or modify the security of a folder, go to an application that contains the folder, select the folder, and use the Security option in the application contents grid toolbar.
The rights for each security setting are listed in the table below.
