Guest Chris Hills Posted August 22, 2007 Posted August 22, 2007 Hi I have a situation in which folders in a tree have supposedly inherited certain permissions which they should not have. The structure looks like this:- C:\ Disks\ D1300\ Disk 2\ Partition 2\ [M] u12345\ [M] = mounted partition On the folder u12345\ the following permissions show (Name,Inherited From):- Administrators,Parent Object SYSTEM,C:\Disks\D1300\Disk 2\Partition 2\ Joe Bloggs,C:\Disks\D1300\Disk 2\Partition 2\ CREATOR OWNER,Parent Object Users,Parent Object On the folder Partition 2\ the following permissions show (Name,Inherited From):- CREATOR OWNER,<not inherited> Domain Admins,<not inherited> DOM-LS-Group1,<not inherited> SYSTEM,<not inherited> On the folder Partition 2\ I have made sure that "Allow inheritable permissions from the parent..." is unselected. The folders underneath Partition 2\ are set as home folders on the domain and are automatically created. I would like to find out where the "Users" permission on these folders is being inherited from because as far as I can tell it should not be there. Regards Chris

After looking around, I found out that the partition itself had its own set of security permissions, which are not the same as those shown on the folder at the mount point. However, in addition to the "Users" entry, there was also an entry for "Everyone", but that did not show up on the folder u12345\. How bizarre. I removed the permission for "Users" from the partition and I observed that it was no longer inherited.
