Guest James U Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 I have an interesting situation that i do not understand. I have a share on a server (Server 2003 R2 Std) with 2 folders in it. The permissions are setup as follows. Shared Folder: Share - Everyone = full control Security - Block Inheritance Security - Everyone = List Folder Contents Security - Domain Admins = Full Control Folder 1 inside the share: Security - Block Inheritance Security - Domain Admins = Full Control Security - CustGroup1 = Modify Folder 2 inside the share: Security - Block Inheritance Security - Domain Admins = Full Control Security - CustGroup1 = Modify Security - Everyone = Read & Execute When i create a file in Folder 1, the permissions get inherited correctly as listed above. The problem occurs when I move a file from Folder 1 to Folder 2. The permissions do not adjust to match that of the new parent folder. Instead, the permissions carry over from the previous folder. Is this the way it is supposed to work? I tried it on several different OS's (XP, 2003, 2000 & 2003 R2) and all yield the same results. Can someone exlain?
Guest Meinolf Weber Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 Re: File/Folder Permission Issue Hello James, Moving file/folders on the same volume will retain the permissions from the source folder. Copying will change the permissions to the destination or if the destination is on another volume. So in your case it works as expected and is correct.
