[Enhancement]: Resource Mgr: copy permissions to subfolders

[dgingold]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

Description of problem

the old file manager could copy permissions down to subfolders. This is a sorely missed feature of Resource Manager. My client said they'd never have moved to DNN if they knew the many subfolders of files they had would need to be manually modified one by one.

Description of solution

provide a checkbox in Resource Manager folder edit > permissions to copy current folder's permissions to all subfolders, meaning recursively through all subfolders below the current folder. This functionality needs to work for both files local to the site (ie, in the /portals/ folders and offsite folders via providers like Azure Connector and Evotiva Global Storage (since my specific issue has its files in offsite storage)

Description of alternatives considered

Is there a SQL statement that will accomplish this as a stop-gap measure? I have 50GB of files that have been moved from another site as we migrated that site into a section of an existing DNN site. Can the old file manager be reinstalled (frankly I'd rather do a SQL statement than to add and then untangle the file manager after running the permission copy)

Anything else?
