When setting up user and group rules, it is important to understand inheritance and how inheritance works.  Otherwise you may run into unexpected access rights for your groups and users.

Global to object level hierarchy

By default, groups and users will inherit rights from the highest level.

The highest level starts at the Global Settings level.  The second level is the folder level; and finally the lowest level is at the object level.  If we set rights at the current level itself, then those rights have precedence over inheritance (except if rights have explicitly been denied)

Proper content management planning is a critical element in the design process of a Business Objects enterprise system, unfortunately because of tight deadlines and lack of experience, many times there is not enough time spent here and users are left with a system that’s unorganized and tough to maintain.
