RE: [ActiveDir] File Permissions: Deny vs. Allow

Title: Message

Could this be an explanation?:   “In most cases, Deny overrides Allow unless a folder inherits conflicting settings from different parents. In this situation, the setting that is inherited from the parent that is closest to the object in the subtree has precedence.”   http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;308418&sd=tech   Tony   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ahmed Al-Awah Sent: Friday, 13 January 2006 10:41 a.m. To: 'ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org' Subject: [ActiveDir] File Permissions: Deny vs. Allow   Hi all,   I'm hoping someone can help explain a situation I came across recently. I have a global security group that has been denied access to a specific network drive (a folder on a server). However, certain members within the global security group are able to access the drive.   After some research I found that the global group was a "member of" a domain local group with access to the drive in question. When the group was removed from the domain local group (but were still members of the global group) the said users were no longer able to access the drive.   File permissions, as I understand them, are designed such that deny permissions will always override allow permissions but in this case it seems that this is not the case, hence my confusion.   P.S.: Just as an FYI, the global group and domain local group are located in different OUs but are part of the same domain.   Any clarifications on why this is happening are appreciated.   Thanks, Ahmed     This communication, including any attachments, is confidential.
