OneDrive folder permissions - Fix


Found the problem.

While you are still listed as the owner of each subfolder in the OneDrive folder, some subfolders no longer have inherited permissions enabled.

If you Enable inheritance and OK for each affected subfolder in the OneDrive folder, it will no longer have any access issues or UAC prompts afterwards.

 

How to disable inherited permissions on a folder by default?

When I create a folder "foo" under the C: drive, I then run

icacls "C:\foo" /inheritance:d

to remove permission inheritance on it. But if I create a folder under foo like C:\foo\bar, bar still gets the inherited permissions Users added to it and it can't be removed without 1st running icacls /inheritance:d on it as well. Is there some way to disable
the inherited permissions by default instead of having to run this command all the time?

 

Inherit permission from the parent folder in Windows Server 2012R2

Hi,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

I understand that you want the child folder to inherit the permissions from the parent folder. You can try the following steps and check if that helps:

1. Right click on the folder to which you want to provide permission.
   
2. Click on Security tab.
   
3. Click on Advanced.
   
4. Click on Enable Inheritance and.
   
5. Click on Apply and OK.
   

If that doesn’t help, as you are using Windows Server 2012R2, I would suggest you to post your query in
TechNet forums, where we have support professionals who
are well equipped with the knowledge on Windows Server.

Hope it helps.
