<p>Say that I have a folder structure like this:</p>

<pre><code>/images
  /products
  /employee-photos
  /user-photos
  /advertising
</code></pre>

<p>Is there a way that I could define the single asset source of /images while only allowing uploads to its children?</p>

<p>I would like to do this so that I could simply add new children w/o having to define them as assets sources separately. </p>

Not currently, the ability to restrict uploads to a folder but still have access to it's child folders is a feature request I made a few months ago: https://plus.google.com/110713469361173113445/posts/HSxvUewJEFH. It might be worth emailing a feature request to support@pixelandtonic.com
