To set user group security permissions for a page, component, or folder:

      If you choose this option, navigate to the parent item's Security tab to modify the security settings.

    • Clear the checkbox to choose security settings for the content item, irrespective of the parent's settings, then confirm your change in the confirmation dialog.

      The Remove and Add buttons display.
