Only the owner can delete the contents
When you apply this option to a folder, e.g. Dept, only the folder owner can delete the first-level
subfolders and files. Users who are not the owner but possess read/write permission to the folder
cannot delete the folders Admin, HR, Production, Sales, and test in this example. This option does
not apply to the subfolders of the selected folder even if the options “Apply changes to files and
subfolders” and “Apply and replace all existing permissions of this folder, files, and subfolders” are
selected.
Only admin can create files and folders: This option is only available for root folders. Select this
option to allow admin to create first-level subfolders and files in the selected folder only. For
example, in the folder “Dept”, only admin can create files and subfolders Admin, HR, Production,
and so on. Other users with read/write access to Dept can only create files and folders in the
second and lower-level subfolders such as Admin01, Admin02, HR1, and HR2.
Apply changes to files and subfolders: Apply permissions settings except owner protection and root
folder write protection settings to all the files and subfolders within the selected folder. These
settings include new users, deleted users, modified permissions, and folder owner. The options
“Only the owner can delete the contents” and “Only admin can create files and folders” will not be
applied to subfolders.
Apply and replace all existing permissions of this folder, files, and subfolders: Select this option to
override all previously configured permissions of the selected folder and its files and subfolders
except owner protection and root folder write protection settings. The options “Only the owner can
delete the contents” and “Only admin can create files and folders” will not be applied to subfolders.
