Inheritance in Devolutions Server is the mechanism by which entries and folders automatically receive security and settings from their parents. Typical inherited items include permissions, roles, and certain connection properties defined at the vault or folder level.
By designing a clear folder structure and applying rights to groups at higher levels, administrators minimize one off configurations and reduce the risk of misaligned access. For example, you can grant a support team read only access on a top level customer folder and let all child entries inherit that rule, while still overriding inheritance on a sensitive subfolder when stricter controls are required.
