Then, for each of the migrated folders and files, we retrieve and apply the corresponding permissions.

For each user, we compute all owned folders, and for each of them we migrate all owned files.

The way we perform document migration in this scenario (including permissions) is as follows:

Alice then creates a document called 'summary.docx' in this folder, and is now the owner of this file without being owner of the parent folder.
