Viewing, changing, and assigning folder permissions

You can view folder permissions in the Public Queries workspace, and if you have the appropriate privilege, you can change and assign permissions to Rational® ClearQuest® groups. In the Personal Queries workspace, you can view, change, and assign folder permissions to Rational® ClearQuest® groups. Permissions allow finer control over who can modify the folder contents.
