File Server Permission
I have an issue with assigning rights to sub folders on our file server.
I want to add access to a user on a shared folder and want that user to have permissions to all sub folders. The sub folders however are set to not inherit permissions from the parent folder so the permission change on the shared folder doesn't affect the sub folders.
Please let me know if there is a way to easily give permissions to the sub folders, without setting permissions for each sub folder.

You can force inheriting of permissions from the Advanced Security Settings of the parent folder. If you check the box 'replace all child object permissions with inheritable permissions from this object' then it forces replacement of the permissions on the sub-folders, even if they are set to not inherit inheritable permissions from their parent folders.

As explained , 'replace all child object permissions with inheritable permissions from this object' will force all child folders to have same permissions as the parent folder. In which case all exclusive permissions set on all child folders will be lost. So this option will not work
