Is it possible to customize permissions for individual child folders different from their parent?

The ability to customize permissions for individual child folders, different from their parent, is indeed possible and can impact the behavior of folder access. When permissions are customized for child folders, it diverges from the default inheritance model, where permissions are automatically inherited from the parent folder. This alteration allows for more granularity in access control, allowing specific users or groups different levels of access based on the needs of the organization or project.

However, making these adjustments can lead to behavior changes, particularly in how users interact with the folder hierarchy and how permissions are evaluated. It is crucial to understand the implications of customizing permissions, as it may lead to confusion among users who expect permissions to be consistent and inherited. This approach requires careful planning and management to avoid access issues or unintended restrictions.

While customizing permissions provides flexibility, it is essential to weigh the advantages against the potential for complexity in permission management.
