Restructuring a large folder hierarchy
I’m currently working on restructuring a large folder hierarchy within the Million Workspace. Each folder has specific group permissions assigned. However, after performing the move operation via WebReport, those group permissions are not retained.
- Is there a configuration setting in the admin page that I might have overlooked?
- Could anyone share an example or best practice for reapplying group permissions to a folder and all its sub-items after the move?

When moving documents using the nodeaction move tag, be sure to include the inheritperms subtag to ensure that permissions from the destination folder are properly inherited.
There are actually two approaches when moving documents:
- Inherit destination permissions: You move the documents to the target location and want them to adopt the permissions of the destination folder.
- Retain source permissions: You move the documents but want them to keep the original permissions from the source folder.
In the first scenario, the documents will inherit the destination's permissions.
In the second scenario, the documents will retain the permissions they had at the source.
Both methods use the nodeaction tag, but differ in their subtags:
- For inheriting destination permissions, use the
inheritpermssubtag. - For retaining source permissions, use the
destinationsubtag alone.
