Just remove the inheritance on the few folders that you need to setup different permissions on, rather than from the root itself

Most users have no access to these folder, but some do need access to a few. So I had set up SYSTEM and Domain Admin full control on the Secure top level folder. Then I tried to change the subfolders where some users needed permissions, but it told me the folder permissions couldn't be changed because they were inheriting from their parent.
