List folder content

Question

Hi Guys,

I am currently have a file server that running Windows Server 2019

I have a folder that being setup as below:

Main folder
Subfolder1
Subfolder11
Subfolder12
Subfolder13 ...
Subfolder2
Subfolder3
etc...

1st goal: ADGroup10 will able to read and write the Subfolder11 and Subfolder13 - it is working with a modify permission on the subfolders.

2nd goal: ADGroup10 will able to list the content only of Subfolder1 but not the other subfolders within
If I set List folder content permission on it, this is inherited for all the subfolders.
Is there any option to do this without disable inheritance all the subfolders within Subfolder1?

Thanks,
M

Hi @Droppa Mihály

While setting the List folder content permission set the ACL of the file/folder to protect. Otherwise, manually update the ACL of the moved file/folder by using the explorer ACL editor. Disable and then enable inheritance again to force the ACL to be updated with the right inherited permissions.

You may also use a VBScript to automate this process.

Hope this resolves your Query !!
