The following procedure describes how to prevent a folder from inheriting its parent folder’s permissions and force a single modified folder to begin inheriting permissions to sub-folders.
To reset all subfolders of a particular parent folder to inherit permissions from that parent, see Resetting VFS Folder Permissions.
