Implicit and Explicit Protection
If the element is explicitly protected by an ACL, the server checks the designated ACL.
If the element is not explicitly protected by an ACL, the following happens:
*For elements (other than files), if the parent folder is protected by an ACL, the element inherits the folder's protection. If the folder has no explicit protection, the element inherits the protection of the folder's parent.
*For files, if the parent folder is protected by an ACL, the file inherits the folder's protection. However, if the file resides in a subfolder that is not explicitly protected by an ACL, the server assigns the Default ACL to the file. For more information about files, refer to Assigning ACLs to Files the Server Can Serve.
Like-named folders in different packages share the same ACL. For example, if both the Finance and Marketing packages contain a top-level folder named MonthEnd, both versions of the folder are controlled by the same ACL, even though the folders have different contents.
Note: Top-level folders never inherit List access from the parent package.
