Symprex Folder Permissions Manager, v6.2.0

Delegates Update Modes

Various functions in Symprex Folder Permissions Manager allow delegates to be updated in bulk:

 

The Group Apply Wizard.
Templates (configured using the Manage Templates dialog and applied using the Apply Template Wizard).

 

How the delegates are updated is determined by the mode chosen. The following sections describe those modes with examples of how the delegates will be changed.

 

Note: For clarity, the individual folder permissions assigned to each delegate are not shown.

 

Append

 

When Append mode is used, only new delegates will be added; any existing delegates will remain unaltered. For example:

 

Delegates To Apply

Existing Delegates

Result

Aaron Fraser

Brandon Mackay

Aaron Fraser

Caitlin Jackson

 

Aaron Fraser (unaltered)

Brandon Mackay (added)

Caitlin Jackson (unaltered)

 

Overwrite

 

When Overwrite mode is used, all existing delegates will be removed and replaced by the new delegates. For example:

 

Delegates To Apply

Existing Delegates

Result

Aaron Fraser

Brandon Mackay

Brandon Mackay (added)

 

Note In this example, Caitlin Jackson was removed.
