OverviewCopy link to clipboard
The Modify Folder Security smart service allows you to select a user to be added to a specified folder as a reader, author, and/or administrator. Only a System Administrator or a Knowledge Center Administrator can add users in these roles.
Caution: This node can only be executed with the appropriate user rights. Attempting to complete this task without sufficient rights generates an error message for the Process Administrator and pauses the process.
