Creating write access lists to limit folder access

About this task

To allow some users and not others to update the contents of a folder, create a write access list for the folder. You can add users to a write access list for a folder as long as the users already have at least Author access in the database access control list. Users specified in the write access list for the folder can move and copy documents into the folder and can remove documents from the folder. With only Author access, they cannot edit documents in the folder.
