Configure state-based security overrides on the Lifecycle Definitions dialog.
To apply state-based security, a state change needs to occur at the folder level. Follow these steps:
Select a folder.
If the folder is not already assigned to a category, choose the Change Category command and assign a category.
By assigning a category, a default state is assigned to the folder.
Select the folder and choose the Change State command.
Choose a state that has security configured on it. For example, the released state has an ACL defined for it out-of-the-box.
Right-click on the folder and select Details.
Select the Security tab.
If the lifecycle definition security is set to Override Object-based security, the ACL displayed is the override ACL that was applied by the lifecycle state.
