Category's given inherited permissions

Currently, if your world is set to Private, all your articles will have to have subscriber groups associated with them to allow users to see the content you are making. However, this is all a manual process. You cannot set a folder to have access for everyone in "Subscriber Group A" and then have everything placed in there (subfolders and files) also receive the same Subscriber Group A automatically. This means for every single folder or article you create, you have to add each group manually. Not only is this time consuming, but also prone to human error.
I propose we use the same system that is standard across most computer technology and have Inheritable Parent Permissions. All children - I.E, Folders/Files underneath the Parent to have the same permissions as the parent. This could also be done the same way as Windows; if you do not wish for a certain folder/file to inherit permissions, you just untick the "inherit permissions" checkbox. This would be much more manageable and easier for people who are dealing with multiple subscriber groups.
The Team's Response
This feature received little to no support from the community. @SeeleyOne this feature already exists. When you create a subscriber group you can set it as a default and it will always be applied when you create a new article/category etc.

on 2021-10-14 23:34At first glance, this seems like a great idea. However, thinking about it, I think that this would clash with other cases. I can see it being created with the same setting as its parent (just copy it over), but otherwise it is a bad idea as there are reasons to have different levels across different Category paths. A better idea might be have a default subscriber group(s) setting for created Categories and/or articles.

on 2021-09-26 10:24I think this would just increase complexity and reduce performance without bringing enough to the table. I'd rather have tools to properly manage resource privacy states and subscriber groups.

on 2021-09-25 15:09This would also be nice, and I'd like to add on the idea of it including inherited header images as well, and other stuff along those lines
