Setting Permissions

the most direct way to set permissions on an object in the bin 
tree is through Aurora edit, as shown in the examples below. 
Aurora edit passes the Windows Security property sheet (the 
Security tab you would see for a file in Windows explorer) to 
the user within the bin’s properties dialog. Here we see that 
user Joe edit has been explicitly granted full control on a bin.

the assets in Aurora edit’s bin tree associate with folders in the 
file system. As an alternative to setting permissions with Aurora 
edit, you can set permissions directly on the associated folders 
using, for example, Windows explorer, or any administrative 
application.

typically, during configuration, organizations establish an 
inheritance and group hierarchy for assets and users such that 
permissions do not require constant management; the desired 
access control happens automatically because of where the 
asset is located and who is using it, not because every new 
asset has had its permissions set manually.

Another entry on the same bin shows that the group interns 
has inherited read-only permission. (inheritance is indicated by 
the gray-shaded checkbox.)
