How do permissions works for Nested Folders?

  1. Root Level Permissions:
    1. When a user creates a folder or a workflow within an existing folder, the permissions of the new folder or workflow inherits from its parent.
    2. When a folder is created within a folder with agency admin permission, the agency admin permission will flow down to the nested folder
  2. Sub-Folder or Nested Folder Permissions: 
    1. When a permission is changed for the Nested folders, it won't change the permission for Root folder
    2. If permission is changed for root folders from Admin to Agency then the permission for the nested folder should not change. Stricter permissions are retained.
    3. If a sub-folder or workflow is moved to the root level, it will adopt the permissions of the root folder.
    4. If a folder with Agency permission is moved out of the nested folder it should retain the Agency Permission.
