SOLIDWORKS PDM 2018 now allows Administrators greater flexibility and control when working with Assigned Folder Permissions.
Previously, each folder had to be assigned permissions one at a time. Starting with 2018 however, multiple folders can be selected at a time and their permissions set.
To select multiple folders you can either:
- Hold down Ctrl and click to select multiple individual folders.
- Hold down Shift and click to select multiple folders in order together.
- Left Click and Drag to select multiple folders.
When multiple folders are selected, the Permissions checkboxes may display one of three different ways:
An empty check box: This indicates that this permission has not been set on any of the selected folders.
A check box filled with a green square: This indicates that the permission has been set on at least one of the selected folders.
A checked box: This indicates that the permission has been set on all of the selected folders.
