Folder contents

A folder is a component with children. These children can be documents or other folders.

Constraints can be defined at folder class level to restrict the children that can be added to a folder. To do this, it is possible to reference the authorized component classes.

Folder permissions

In order to restrict access to, or modifications of, a document’s content, a number of permissions are available to control possible operations:

• Add a child to a folder: UPDATE_CONTENT and ADD_CONTENT
• Delete a child from a folder: DELETE_CONTENT
• Detach a document from a folder: DETACH (action possible from document indexing)
• Download the contents of a folder as an archive: DOWNLOAD_CONTENT Downloaded content contains only the documentary content of the folder and does not include subfolders.

Some actions are only available if the user has write access to the document. To do this, it must have the UPDATE permission and have reserved the folder (see Reservation).

• Attach the folder to another folder: ATTACH
