I set permissions for the "Domain Admins" group in a parent folder, but for some reason the permissions are not being propagated or inherited by the child folders properly.
Here is the folder path that I am having a problem with
E:\files\folder 1\folder 2
"Files" folder permission entries: Domain admins group has full control and set to apply to This folder, subfolders, and files. Domain admins group is also set to apply these permission to objects
"Folder 1" permission entries Set to allow inheritable permissions Domain admins group has full control, BUUT it is only set to apply to this folder only....it shows that it is being inherited from E:\files\, but the ACL is not being inherited properly
"Folder 2" permission entries Set to allow inheritable permissions Domain admins group is not displayed at all
I have tried replacing permissions on all child objects from the "files" folder, but that hasn't worked. Please help!!
I just tried that and that didn't work either. Would you guys like for me to a record my screen so you can see what I am doing and maybe correct my mistakes?
I think I fixed my own problem. For some reason I have to add the security group to the folder using the simple permissions view. For some reason when I add it using the advanced view it doesn't work properly. Anyone know why that is?
I figured it out, I was checking the box at the bottom of the permission edit/create box which is marked "Apply these permisions to objects and/or containers within this container only." That option will cause the permissions to only apply to files and folders one level below the root folder which you are declaring the permissions on, they won't be inherited any deeper. This is why the permissions apply to "This folder only" on a subfolder - that is due to that checkbox being checked.
