"Pushing" permissions in folder structure

vahu

Hi,

Is it not possible to set some permission, say on the root folder and have the permissions pushed through the hierchy of the folder structure ?

Not that I know of...

I had to write a script to do that.

Here is the suroutine doing the work (sorry, it's in VBscript, and it's probably worth what you're paying for it...)

'------------------------------------------------------------------------------
'Sub CopyPermissions (objSourceContainer, objDestinationContainer)
'Copies the Permissions from objSourceContainer to objDestinationContainer
'then if bolRecursivecalls itself for every child container of objDestinationContainer
'if bolAdd is true, permissions of objSourceContainer are added to those of objDestinationContainer
'ONLY MEDIABIN ADMINISTRATORS CAN EXECUTE THIS SUB
'------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sub CopyPermissions (objSourceContainer, objDestinationContainer, bolRecursive, bolAdd)
Dim collSubContainers
Dim objSubContainer
Dim collPermissions
Dim objPermission

if bolAdd then
'About to add permissions for objDestinationContainer
set collPermissions = objSourceContainer.Permissions
for each objPermission in collPermissions
objDestinationContainer.AddPermission(objPermission)
next
'Done
else
'About to copy permissions for objDestinationContainer
objDestinationContainer.CopyPermissions(objSourceContainer)
'Done
end if
if bolRecursive then
'About to get container's children
set collSubContainers = objDestinationContainer.ContainerChildren(false)
for each objSubContainer in collSubContainers
Call CopyPermissions (objSourceContainer, objSubContainer, bolRecursive, bolAdd)
next
end if
End Sub
