Folder permission inheritance

[toksoladuti]

We have a folder called TEST which has the correct permissions set for it and does not inherit it's permissions from it's parent. Let say we have Administrator and security_group_A with Full Control set for "this folder, subfolder and files". There is a subfolder called SUB1 set to inherit permission from it's root TEST. In here, Administrator maintain Full Control for "this folder, subfolders and files", however security_group_A has Full Control but only for "This folder only". Inside SUB1 there is another folder called SSUB2. SSUB2 is also set to inherit permissions. Administrator still had Full Control for "this folder, subfolders and files" however security_group_A had now completely disappeared from the permission list. How can we set it so that the required permissions set in the TEST folder propagate completely to all subfolders and files for any user/group?

Open the folder containing TEST
Right-click TEST got to Properties
Select the Security tab
Click the Advanced button
Check the box that says: "Replace permission entries on all child object with entries shown here that apply to child objects"

That should do the trick for you.

Thanks...I've tried this already and unfortunately the problem remains.

Are there any more pointers on resolving this issue? Thanks.

I just notice the stupid cause of the problem, the check box under permission "apply these permissions to objects and/or containers within this container only" was ticked.
