Expand a vault.

Either:
Click One-time Import... if you want to modify
the permissions of a single import package.
or
Click the task area item New
Scheduled Import... if you want to modify the permissions of
a recurring import job.
Result:Depending on your choice, either the Import Content
or the Scheduled Job Properties dialog is
opened.
Select the Permissions tab.
Result:The Permissions tab of either the Import
Content or the Scheduled Job Properties
dialog is opened.
In the Permissions of the imported objects section, select
one of the following options:
Option
Description
Use the permissions from the content package
Select this option if you want the imported objects to have the same
permissions as the objects in the source vault.
Use the default permissions of the object types
Select this option if you want the imported objects to use the
default permissions defined via the properties dialog of each object
type.
Specify permissions for imported versions
Select this option if you want to manually define permission
settings that are to be applied to all the imported objects.
Optional: Check or uncheck the Activate new or changed definitions of automatic
permissions option checkbox.
If the content package contains any new or changed definitions of automatic
permissions, importing the content package with this option enabled activates
all the automatic permissions triggered by the imported definitions in the
target vault. Importing the content package with this option unchecked still
imports the automatic permission definitions to the target vault, but does not
cause any new automatic permissions to be activated.
Optional: Check or uncheck the Ignore the definitions of automatic permissions
of the imported objects option checkbox.
When selected, this option makes the importing process bypass the definitions
of automatic permissions of all the imported objects in the content package.
This way you can choose to preserve the automatic permissions of all the objects
in the target vault by leaving out any potential changes to the definitions of
automatic permissions from the objects in the imported content package.
