Table 3.78. Rule to supervise a folder

You do not have to define rules for each group, resource or resource type. A rule definition may contain a

super group: the rule is applicable for all subgroups
super folder: the rule is applicable for all subfolders
super type: the rule is applicable for all subtypes

When using super groups, super folders and super types the number of rules is greatly reduced but the problem of conflicting rules emerges. The problem appears when two rules for a super group and subgroup or a super folder and a subfolder or a supertype and a subtype are defined. The following section explains how rights for a resource are evaluated from a set of rules and how conflicting rules are resolved.
