WPC Area Permission

Question

Hi Folks,
We are running on SAP Netweaver Portal 7.4 SP 4.
We are facing issue with permission on the WPC Area's.
From the "Content Editor" of the "Accessible Area Management", we are setting the permission for the Area's.
Now we have scenario like the below:
We have Area A  with Read / Write Permission for Users A & B.
Inside Area A, we have sub folders to store documents. We want to give the Write permission only to User A.
Is that possible?  Kindly help me in this regard.
Regards,
TSB

Hi
Whatever you create under shared folder it inherits the permission from its parent folder. This is as per design.
Refer to the below link  :

It speaks little bit about Shared Content of area.
Optional: Create a Shared Content folder. This option is only available if the area that you are creating is contained within another area. This folder is located in the Content Library and is used for storing content that can be reused within the area. A Shared Content folder is created automatically when you create a top-level area.
If you want to set resource level permissions then you can place both resources in Global Shared Content in some folder and assign whatever permissions you wish as per resource per user and use the resource from there.
