Propagate access permissions

You can use the Server app to propagate a folder’s permissions to all the folders and files it contains. You can specify which standard permissions to propagate: owner name, group name, owner permissions, group permissions, and permissions for others. You can propagate a folder’s complete Access Control List (ACL), but you can’t propagate individual entries that constitute the ACL.

Select your server in the Server app sidebar, then click Storage.
Select the folder whose access permissions you want to propagate, then click the Action pop-up menu , then choose Propagate Permissions.
Select the permissions you want to propagate, then click OK.
Important: Propagation begins as soon as you click OK, and you can’t undo it. Before clicking OK, make sure you select the folder and permission settings you intend.
