Remove inherited permissions

Hi,

I have to folders in this vpath called USEnglish and German. USEnglish inherits windows permissions from different groups. I would like to remove the inherited permissions for one group.

I read the documentation and I tried remove-windows-permission, but it doesn't work. When I do it manually at the folder level, it removes all the inherited permissions even though I just want one of them to be removed.

I used the following:
iwaccess.exe set-windows-inheritance \default\main\WORKAREA\HQ\templatedata\CommonContent\HQ_Home\data\USEnglish false

It removes all the inherited permissions. Is there any way to select which inherited permission to remove?

Please any suggestions

Thanks in advance.

I don't believe you can pick-and-choose inherited permissions like that. If you want all-but-N inherited permissions I believe you will have to manually copy the ones you want (non-inherited) and then disable the inheritance.

Adding to what has been already noted - in Windows you inherit Parent's Folder permissions, not "permissions from different groups"

you right Parent's Folder permissions, good catch, however, I still have the problem.

Any other suggestions?

As noted before, permission inheritance is "all or none" feature. Switch it off and check the subset that you need.

Hi,

I think I found a way to do this, Set inheretance to false and add permissions for the groups I need.

Thanks guys.
