permissions on a share

Hi,

I have a windows 2003 server which has a share.

The share called PShare is inheriting permissions from the F drive. The
permissions for 'Everyone' are prograting to PShare.

I am trying to remove this by right clicking on PShare -> Properties ->
Security -> Advanced

and then removing the checkbox

'Allow inheritable permissions from the parent to this object and all child
objects. Include these with entries explicitly defined here'

then I get 3 options:

1) Copy
2) Remove
3) Cancel

I have used the copy since I want the other permissions defined for this
folder to remain.

However, at this stage the server just hangs.

Can anybody please help or advise?

Thank you

Yes, exactly... when you choose "copy", it has to manually set the
permissions on ever single object in the tree from there down.

FYI - that's not usually the best choice - you are copying the
permissions you just removed to all of the child objects. In other
words, if your goal is to remove the inherited permissions, you are
headed in the wrong direction: you only removed the parent / child
relationship and then you copied the same permissions to all the child
objects and overall security is unchanged.

.....what Juraj said.

However you should know that these are not permissisons on a Share. This is
permissions on a Folder & Files,....known as NTFS Permissions. Share
permisssions are completely separate and have a different purpose.

There is no such thing as inheritence with Share Permissions.
