I'm relatively new to SharePoint and am trying to put a bunch of Word
files (that were on our network file server) into SharePoint. We have
set up a document library that, by default, gives everyone access to
everything. This is the desired top-level permission set because
*most* items will work well this way.

The problem is that I have a bunch of documents I want to add and
apply some specific permissions to. I can do this, but...please tell
me there is some way I can do this for multiple documents at the same
time. Attempting to do this one-by-one is a pain and I'm hoping for a
better solution here.

Thanks very much in advance.

Hello montek,

In SharePoint 2010, you can do this via document sets. in SharePoint 2007,
you would either need to write something that handles multiple items yourself
or put all documents with identical permissions in the same folder (if such
an approach is even doable for you).

Kind regards,
