Remove Groups from Folders and Subfiles

[appscript]

Hi,

I want to remove a group which has previously had access to a folder, it subfolders and the files contained within.

This group no longer needs access to this area. I have revoked the groups permissions from all of these folders and subfolders so the group permissions on all objects within cannot be accessed anymore.

The questions is:

Can you show me how to remove this group from all the folders and files within, without going through all of the folders and files individually and removing this group?

I want to tide this up.

Help greatly appreciated,

Matt

Hebberd,
I assume that you used the APPLY TO SUB ITEMS option ?

ggriffit,

I did originally do that to revoke the permissions from the group to this said area, then I deleted the group from the top level folder. This is when I got in a spot of bother as I needed to add the group back in at the top level again before I could do the following:

I used the 'Edit Permission of Sub-Items' on the permissions of the top level folder. (padlock icon with green icon pointing down).

Permissions Action,

Change from <NONE> to 'Remove Group' (which would apply to Sub-Items too).

This removes the group from the top level downwards so it was no longer linked to any of the folders or files below.

Hebberd,
Thought so, thanks for sharing the approach in detail for others
