[QUOTE="devanoff1113, post: 59189"] It is checked as appropriately. I currently have this folder giving me difficulty, the parent folder has permissions set to give me read and write capability and when I tell it to apply to enclosed items, the sub items still lock me out (i.e. read only). When I select the sub items, under ownership and permissions, the field that states what I can do is blank but when i select the drop down menu there is a hyphen next to read and write but also next to read only. It's the same thing for the Owner and Group access, though my user is stated in the group. When I put myself as the Owner and the Group, I am granted full access. My issue is I don't want to have to do this every time. With Windows, I can have inherited permissions where the permissions are set automatically according to the parent directory. I want to know why the apply to enclosed items doesn't work. [/QUOTE]
