How can I edit the NTFS permissions for a Security Group?

Asked By TechyNinja92 On

I have a folder that's linked to a Security Group that inherits NTFS permissions from its parent folders. I'm looking to specifically remove the 'Write' permission for that Security Group without altering any of their other permissions. It's a basic task, but I want to ensure I do it correctly. Any tips would be appreciated!

Totally agree with the previous point! You'd want to use 'deny' permissions sparingly because they can lead to confusion later on. It can be pretty common to disable inheritance a layer or two down for share structures but just make sure it doesn’t go too deep.

Also, just to confirm your point about preserving permissions: yes, if you disable inheritance and choose 'Convert inherited permissions into explicit permissions' in the Advanced Security Settings, you can then edit the permissions for that Security Group and just remove 'Write' without affecting anything else. You're on the right track!
