When you apply an Advanced set of object rights to a user or group for a particular object, you can enable or disable group and folder inheritance together or individually. On the Advanced Rights pages, the settings for inheriting rights from parent folders or groups serve as powerful tools that allow you to customize inheritance patterns in many ways.
Note: You see the "Username will inherit rights from its parent groups" option if you are setting rights for a user; this option does not appear if you are setting rights for a group.
Tip: When modifying inheritance patterns with Advanced rights settings, keep in mind that you can always assign a user a specific set of rights, either by explicitly applying a predefined access level, or by explicitly applying an Advanced setting in which both types of inheritance are disabled.
To take full advantage of inheritance patterns and Advanced rights settings, it is useful to understand not only the types of inheritance that are available, but also the ways in which a user's effective rights are calculated by the CMS.
