  2. Select the parent category in the Taxonomy Tree.
  3. Click the Security tab.
  4. Choose one of the following steps:
    • Select the Use Default Security Settings checkbox and then click OK to confirm your selection in the subsequent dialog.

      Additional Information
      If selected, the content item uses the default CMS taxonomy security settings. By default, only the Everyone group displays with Full Access selected in the Security tab. All users with appropriate group permissions can access the category.

        Note
        The Everyone user group overrides all other settings in Security.
