Setting Local Options in the Object Picker

Once you have selected your objects in the Object Picker, you can set local options for container objects. A container object is any object with a child object such as a folder, OU, or share.

The local options you specify apply only to the object you select.

You cannot apply local options to dynamic object sets.
