### Changing resource and folder properties

To change the properties of a resource or folder:

- For administrators, on the JReport Administration page, click Resources on the system toolbar and select Resources from the drop-down menu. In the Resources panel, browse to the row that the resource or folder is in and click the Properties button in the Control column. In the corresponding properties dialog, change the settings as required.
- For end users, on the JReport Console > Resources page, browse to the row that the resource or folder is in and do either of the following:
  - Select the row and click Tools > Properties on the task bar of the Resources page.
  - Select the row, right-click in the row and select Properties from the shortcut menu.
  - Put the mouse pointer over the row and click the Properties button on the floating toolbar.

  Then, in the corresponding properties dialog, change the settings as required.

#### Assigning permissions

Permissions, associated with resources and folders which locate in the Public Reports or Public Components folder, are the rules that are granted to users to control their access to resources and folders.

After you have set permissions for a parent folder, any new resources and sub folders created in that folder will inherit the same permissions. If you do not want them to inherit these permissions, you can enable their user permissions and set their permissions separately. Resources and folders will inherit permissions from their parent folder if their user permissions are not enabled.

To set, view, change, or remove resource/folder permissions, in the Permissions tab of the Properties dialog (see the tab):

- To set up or change permissions for a role, user or group, first check Enable Setting Permissions, then select the role/user/group in the Selected box and check or uncheck the required permissions. If the role/user/group is not listed in the Selescted box, select the corresponding radio button below the Available box, add the role/user/group to the Selected box and then assign the permissions accordingly.
- To remove resource/folder permissions for all users, groups and roles, uncheck the Enable Setting Permissions option.

Notes:

- Security permissions do not apply to the built-in version folders, the My Reports and My Components folders, and their contents.
- To complete a task, you may require more than one permission. For example, to view the properties of a report, you must have both the Visible and Read permissions.
- Some permissions depend on other permissions in order to work, such as Write, Execute, and Schedule. Allowing anyone of these will also allow the Read permission.
- Only members in the administrator role can assign the Grant permission to other users or groups or roles.
- Users that are given the Grant permission can grant permissions to other users in the same group.
