Under File Management, some steps can manipulate the local File Directory used by Decisions. Steps found here, such as Create, Move, and Delete Directory depend on the Folder Permissions granted to the service account controlling Decisions. If the correct permissions have been granted, the steps will be able to perform without issue.

In addition, the steps that manipulate the directory require the absolute path. If the absolute path is not specified, the steps will limit its abilities to the Decisions Server Folder.
