Disable Permissions Inheritance

Disable Permissions Inheritance

Jan 22, 2025

When adjusting permissions to a folder, its subfolders automatically inherit permissions from the parent folder. However, you can disable this inheritance for any subfolder you choose.

  • From the folder of your choice, select Permissions.
  • Toggle off Permissions Inheritance, then choose to either remove all previously inherited permissions so you can add users and groups to the folder from scratch
  • or only keep existing permissions so you can adjust the list of users and groups moving forward.
  • Easily ensure proper access control to folders in your domain with Egnyte’s granular permissions.
