If you have read permission on folders and resources, you can copy and cut them from one folder and paste them to another if you have write permission on the destination folder. The server pastes all contents of the folder into the new location.
You can drag-and-drop the objects instead of using the paste menu item. Move folders one at a time. You can move other resources in batches.

To change permissions on an object, set the permissions explicitly. |
To move folders and resources by cutting and pasting:
| 1. | Log into the server as a user who has these permissions: |
| • | Read permission on the folder or resource to move |
| • | Write permission on the destination folder |
For example, log in as joeuser (use the password, joeuser).
| 2. | Click View > Repository. |
| 3. | In the Folders panel, right-click Reports > Samples and select Add Folder. |
| 4. | In the Add Folder dialog, enter a name, such as Financial Reports, and click Add. |
The Financial Reports folder appears as a subfolder of Samples and inherits Joe User’s default permissions (read-write-delete) on the parent folder.

| 5. | The Financial Reports folder deserves a more prominent location. Move it up one level: |
| a. | In Folders, right-click Financial Reports, and select Cut. |
| b. | Right-click Reports, and select Paste. |
The Financial Reports folder now appears in Reports at the same level as Samples.

If the Paste command is disabled when you right-click a destination folder, you don’t have write permission on the folder. |
