Brett, hi.

l had the same problem. When you give one type of access to one unit, it´s
not possible alter this in subunits.

> I set the following permissions for the "suborg" user group in "folder1" to
> Allowed:
> Read, Write, Direct Publish, Control, Write, Responsible, Overwrite
> inherited, Inherit on sub folders
