 We have a number of confidential project folders. I would like to apply specific folder permissions to a group applied to a sub folder and disable the inheritance for this user, if this possible? 
 So for example like this - 
 Parent folder

&lt;p&gt;Did not have a lot of success previously with&amp;nbsp;maintaining permissions&amp;nbsp;from template, but will have to do further testing, maybe I am missing something.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Most often always creating for &amp;quot;New Work Area&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Is it possible to disable folder security inheritance for a specific group?</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/718537?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Sun, 26 Jun 2022 02:45:05 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:259681b2-1ca7-44b8-bde6-6ac62c9fd482</guid><dc:creator>Kevin van Haaren</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;You can&amp;#39;t break inheritance on a folder for a single group, you break for all groups on the folder, and sub-folders to that folder (so you need to also break inheritance on Sub Folder B or it will inherit from Sub Folder A). When you break inheritance on Sub Folder A, if you make a change to Conf permissions on parent folder that also will not copy to Sub Folder A (or B).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Assuming you&amp;#39;re OK with that, how are you copying your template? As long as I have &amp;quot;Copy Access Control&amp;quot; turned on it keeps the broken inheritance from our templates.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For drag &amp;amp; drop of a Work Area you should get a pop-up with an Advanced tab that has Copy Access Control.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you&amp;#39;re using the &amp;quot;New Work Area&amp;quot; flow then the 2nd step of the process also has an Advanced tab with that option.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I did run into an issue with PowerShell and Copy-PWFolder where I had to re-break inheritance then apply the security I wanted, but since it was scripted didn&amp;#39;t really matter since I wasn&amp;#39;t redoing it by hand. If you&amp;#39;re using powershell I can post how i did this.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Thanks for taking the time to reply.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I appreciate you can &amp;#39;break inheritance&amp;#39;, however I was trying to Template a folder structure with inheritance disabled on some folder. When you apply this template to a new folder structure the disabled inheritance is lost and you have to recreate it all manually.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If there is a solution for this it would be appreciated.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Is it possible to disable folder security inheritance for a specific group?</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/716093?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Fri, 10 Jun 2022 12:17:44 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:c54d36f8-ea20-459c-ae92-426395f9d5b7</guid><dc:creator>Dan Dimitro</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;You should be able to do this by setting specific Document and Workflow access control for the folders and/or roles for groups the users are members of. In short, yes, you can break inheritance.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
