To allow all users to access the new subfolders created within the department share, enabling inheritance is the most effective solution. Enabling inheritance ensures that new folders and files inherit the permissions of their parent folder. Thus, when a user creates a new subfolder, it will automatically inherit the permissions of the department share, allowing access to all users who have permissions on the parent folder.
Assigning share permissions may be necessary, but it doesn't automatically address the issue of inherited permissions for new subfolders. Enabling inheritance ensures that the new subfolders inherit the permissions of their parent folder, which, in this case, is the department share. This means that the permissions for the parent folder are applied to the new subfolders, allowing all users to access them.
B. Enabling inheritance Enabling inheritance is the action that would most likely allow all users to access the new folders. Explanation: Enabling inheritance (Option B): Enabling inheritance allows new folders and files to inherit the permissions of their parent folder. If a user creates a new subfolder within the department share, enabling inheritance would mean that the new subfolder automatically inherits the permissions of the parent department share, providing access to other users.
NEW folders.
Please note that enabling inheritance is not a solution for this problem as it only applies to NTFS file system permissions
If Shared permissions weren't assigned, the NTFS permissions are active. This says nothing about Shared permissions being assigned.
In Windows Explorer, right-click the folder you want to share, and then click Properties. On the Security tab, click Edit. In the Permissions dialog box, add the appropriate users or groups that should have access at each level of the folder structure
Inheritance has to do with sub folders being granted the same permissions of whatever main folder they are in, nothing to do with actually assigning permissions to individual users.
I just re-read this. B makes sense now.
