B. Enabling inheritance Enabling inheritance is the action that would most likely allow all users to access the new folders. Explanation: Enabling inheritance (Option B): Enabling inheritance allows new folders and files to inherit the permissions of their parent folder. If a user creates a new subfolder within the department share, enabling inheritance would mean that the new subfolder automatically inherits the permissions of the parent department share, providing access to other users.

Assigning share permissions may be necessary, but it doesn't automatically address the issue of inherited permissions for new subfolders. Enabling inheritance ensures that the new subfolders inherit the permissions of their parent folder, which, in this case, is the department share. This means that the permissions for the parent folder are applied to the new subfolders, allowing all users to access them.

The issue here is that the SUBFOLDERS do not have the same permissions being applied. Enabling inheritance makes subfolders have the same permission as the parent folder, applying the proper permissions to them and allowing access.

NEW folders.

In Windows Explorer, right-click the folder you want to share, and then click Properties. On the Security tab, click Edit. In the Permissions dialog box, add the appropriate users or groups that should have access at each level of the folder structure

Please note that enabling inheritance is not a solution for this problem as it only applies to NTFS file system permissions
