Remove Folder ACL

Overview

This operation removes READ or WRITE permissions on repository folders for the specified users or roles. No propagation takes place to subfolders.

If any ACL has been granted separately on subfolders then these are not removed. Generally, subfolders will not have permissions but will inherit from the parent folder.

If READ permission is removed then WRITE permission will also be removed, since a user cannot WRITE to a folder which they cannot READ.

ACL Authorization Flow

The user making this request will only be able to remove permissions on resources within the folders (or subfolders) on which they have WRITE permission.
