Setting permissions on a folder

This step is done from within a CLC Workbench. Start up a copy of a CLC Workbench that has a plugin called the CLC Server Client Plugin installed. From within the Workbench, go to the File menu and choose the item CLC Server Login. Log into the CLC Server as an administrative user.

You can then set permissions on folders within File Locations that have had permissions enabled or on Database Locations, if you have a CLC Bioinformatics Database.

        right-click the folder (Image Folder_Closed_Flat_16_h_p) | Permissions (Image permissions_16_n_p)

This will open the dialog shown in figure 5.2.

Set the relevant permissions for each of the groups and click OK.

If you wish to apply the permissions recursively, that is to all subfolders, check Apply to all subfolders in the dialog shown in figure 5.2. Note that this operation is usually only relevant if you wish to clean up the permission structure of the subfolders. It should be applied with caution, since it can potentially destroy valuable permission settings in the subfolder structure.
