  4. Click the Edit button. The Folder Permissions section becomes editable.

    The Inherit Permissions check box indicates if the permissions are applied from the parent. When inheriting permissions from a parent folder, the permissions cannot be updated here. Root folders cannot inherit permissions.

    The Inherit Permissions box needs to be deselected to view Allowable Templates

  6. To remove a user, click to deselect the check box next to that user.

  7. To add users, click the Assigned dropdown list and select Unassigned. Users that are not related to the folder appear:

    All changes are pending until you click the Save button. Applying different filters, such as searching for a user, will not remove any pending changes.

  8. To add a user, click to select the check box next to that user. The permissions dropdowns appear.

  9. Click the dropdown lists to select the permissions for each desired user.

    1. For each user or group, click the Folder Permission dropdown list for the desired user of group to select the desired maximum permission available to them for the folder: View (folder), Add Secret (to folder), Edit (folder), or Owner (of folder).

    2. Similarly, click the Secret Permissions dropdown list for the desired user of group to select the desired maximum permission available to them for secrets in the folder: List (secrets in folder), View (secrets in folder), Edit (secrets in folder), or Owner (of secrets in folder).
