- TITLE :AppleTalk Rights Inheritence in Subfolders
- PRODUCT :Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server
- PROD/VER:3.10

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
- The information in this article applies to:
-
- - Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server version 3.1
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- In Windows NT Advanced Server Services for Macintosh, AppleTalk cascades
- the general rights down to each subfolder from the parent folder.
-
- For example, if a file folder has the following rights
-
- See See Make
- Folder Files Changes
- --------------------------------------------------------
- Owner: User1 X X X
-
- User\Group: Users X X X
-
- Everyone O O O
-
- a different user who creates a folder within the above folder would receive
- the following rights:
-
- See See Make
- Folder Files Changes
- --------------------------------------------------------
- Owner: User2 X X X
-
- User\Group: Users X X X
-
- Everyone O O O
-
- The owner of this new folder is now the new user and thus this user now has
- full rights to change the rights for any group that wants to access this
- folder (on the Macintosh side). This can bring up some administration
- problems because an administrator may want to give all rights of
- administration to a given folder's owner for all subfolders. This is an
- issue related to AppleTalk functionality rather than to Windows NT Advanced
- Server or LAN Manager rights.
