Hello all,
I am trying to grant access to a shared folder through the security tab within the properties of the shared folder. When I click on Apply after adding the user, I get the following error message:
"Remotely setting permissions on a folder at the root of a share removes all inherited permissions from the root folder and all subfolders. To set permissions without removing inherited permissions, click no and either change the permissions on a child folder or make the change while logged on locally."
Does this mean if I add this user it will replace every user who has access to this folder permissions?
thanks for your help,
Skylar

Hi Skylar,
May I ask where are the share folder locate? It seems to happen more on setting the share folder on remote storage.
If so, that's by design. All inherited permissions on new share root will be changed to non-inherited permissions
You could also check the thread discussed before.
Best Regards,
Mary

Hello Mary,
Currently the shared folder is on a network drive. There are two folders on this drive. One folder I was able to add user groups without the above error. The 2nd drive gave me that error message ("Remotely setting permissions on a folder at the root of a share removes all inherited permissions from the root folder and all subfolders. To set permissions without removing inherited permissions, click no and either change the permissions on a child folder or make the change while logged on locally.")
From the article you sent me it looks like the guy found a workaround in powershell. I'd prefer not to use powershell right now as I am new to it. I'm just confused on why setting permissions on one folder in the root worked but not for another one.

Hi Sklyar,
For problematic folder, please first take ownership of the folder tree and then try to assign permissions to the users to do a check.
Best Regards,
Mary
