virtual void MgResourceService::InheritPermissionsFrom

(

MgResourceIdentifier *

resource

)

[pure virtual]

Sets the permissions for all descendants of a specified folder to be inherited from the folder.

Remarks:

For example, if the folder "Library://Geography/" contains a map and a subfolder containing two feature sources, using this will set the map, the subfolder, and the feature sources all to "inherit".
This method only works on items in the library repository, not in session repositories.
