Description

A folder is a container for GIS services. ArcGIS Server supports a single level hierarchy of folders.

By grouping services within a folder, you can conveniently set permissions on them as a single unit. A folder inherits the permissions of the root folder when it is created, but you can change those permissions at a later time.
