Re: Permissions (Default settings)



By default, new folders inherit the permissions of the parent folder.
Therefore, folders created on C create the permissions at the root of C. So
if you tighten the permissions on the top-level E directory, newly created
folders will inherit those tightened permissions.

On the Advanced tab, there's an option to propagate the permissions to child
folders. That would let you apply tighter security to all the existing
files and folders on E, but obviously you'd want to do that very carefully
to avoid unintended results. Also, depending on how many files and folders,
be prepared for it to take a while.

Whenever I create a new directory on the C-drive on the SBS 2003 server,
there are always default permissions assigned (ie. Administrators with all
permissions, Creator/Owner with .., Authenticated Users with ..., etc). On
the other hand, on the other drive (say E:), whenever a new directory is
created it is assigned the default permissions of "Everyone" with all
permissions. I was wondering how do you set the permissions of the E:
drive
to have the same permissions as the C: drive or perhaps other specific
permissions other than Everyone with Everything by default?
