# Folder: Permissions

A [folder's](/v1/docs/knowledge-bases-folders) permission settings are located in the Permissions accordion of the Add/Edit Knowledge Base Folder workscreen.

## Settings

- Be sure to click **Save** after changing any of these settings.
- Refer to [Permissions In the Knowledge Base](/v1/docs/permissions-in-the-knowledge-base) for additional information on specifying knowledge base folder permissions.
- A folder's children (i.e., other folders, [articles](/v1/docs/knowledge-bases-articles), and [files](/v1/docs/knowledge-bases-files)) can have permissions that either inherit or override those of the parent folder.
- If you are editing an existing folder, click **Permission Entry** to edit the permissions for the folder.

### Override Parent Folder Permission

### Default View Permission

- All - All users will be able to view contents in this folder. You may deny specific groups, learning plans, subscriptions, teams or users from viewing contents in this folder by selecting the **View - Deny** checkbox for the group, learning plan, subscription, team, or user.

### Default Edit Permission

This setting is only available if the [**Override Parent Folder Permission** setting](/v1/docs/folder-permissions#override-parent-folder-permission) is checked.
