Hi,
I'm working on creating Folder hierarchy and apply Categories, Classifications and Groups on each. But I dont want the child items to inherit these preoperties from parent folder. How can I do it?

Swathi
For categories and classifications you can disable inheritance. Example for categories in the attached screen shot - the middle of the three circled buttons takes you to the dialogue.
Permissions inheritance you can't disable, plus standard behaviour is that the person who creates items will have edit permissions rights. If you want them to be able to control what permissions are actually applied as each item is added take a look at PriSM from capSpire (http://www.capspire.com/products/prism/). Plenty of customer references.
However I would ask, why are you adding categories and classifications to containers if you do not want them to be inherited by their children?
Hi Alister, Thank you for your response.
I want this inheritance to be removed programatically using webservices.
And to your question, well we have different set of categories, classifications and permissions for parent and child folders.
Thanks,Swathi
With the latest CS 10.5 Update 2015-09, category inheritance can now be controlled via Web Services. Unfortunately, it’s available ONLY for CS 10.5.
From the Release Notes:
Content Web Services (Content Server 10.5 only)The DocumentManagement service now provides the ability to get/set Category Inheritance for categories applied to containers. New getCategoryInheritance() and setCategoryInheritance() methods are provided for this purpose.
I did a quick test using our Bulk Data Manager product, which uses CWS. So long as the inheritance in the categories is disabled on the parent folder, adding content (either folders or documents) does not apply that category to them. So it is possible .
BTW, that test was against our demo system which is CS10.5 SP1 last updated in May.
