Hi there,

I'd use an Alfresco Policy object (basically, a event callback method invoked whenever events of a certain type occur) instead of a rule to do this. Take a look at:

to get an understanding of policies, and take a look at the 'onNodeCreatePolicy' interface as this is what you'll most likely want to implement in order to do the job. The policy could work as follows:

* If the node type is not 'cm:folder', then exit policy.
* If folder's name is 'WORK', apply 'consumer' privs.
* etc…
