I'm having a bit of a problem here that I'm hoping someone can help me
with; could be I'm missing something basic here.
I have a folder set up on one computer that I would like a single specific
user to have access to (that folder plus all subfolders and files) via a
network share. I have therefore given this user the appropriate
permissions on that parent folder, with the permission set to propagate
down to subfolders and files. This all works nicely.
The problem I run into is that when I move files into this folder (or a
subfolder therein), those files have their "inherit parent security" bit
cleared, meaning I have to go in and re-check it for each file I move in.
Of course there's always the "replace permission entries on child objects"
option that I could use from the parent folder, but as the number of child
objects increases into the thousands, this becomes slower and less
practical. Is there any way to move files such that they continue to
inherit permissions, thereby giving the user access to everything in the
folder without constant intervention from me? Am I going about this in a
bad way?
Thanks!
