Exam MD-100 topic 3 question 15 discussion

For those of you that were utterly confused like me: Yes, inheritance is disabled on Folder A. That just means that Folder A is a clean slate, it is not getting its permissions from the folder ABOVE it. It is starting with its own permissions. So B and C will still get (inherit) their permissions from Folder A. I hope this helps someone. Not sure why I confused myself like that. (To further add as an example, if it said Inheritance was turned off on Folder B, THEN that would mean that B would ONLY have "write to Group 3" permissions. In addition, C would still have permissions from both B and C. Also, if it said Inheritance was turned off on Folder B AND C, THEN that would mean that B and C would ONLY have those explicit permissions listed. If inheritance was turned off on all 3 folders, then they would all only have their listed permissions)

I believe this should be Yes, Yes, No. User3 never receives a Modify permission via inheritance so can't delete any files. I have tested this, if I'm wrong, please explain why, thank you :)

The given answer is correct and I have tested in a virtual machine. Remember that NTFS permissions will merge down the line. Removing inheritance at Folder A just means that it does not receive permissions from an parent folders. So, at Folder A, user 1 and user 2 get Modify permissions, which does let you delete any folder or file under Folder A. User 3 has only read permission at Folder A. Once we get to Folder B, User 3 now receives the write permission for a total of Read and Write at Folder B, which allows you to add and edit a file, NOT delete it. Deleting files require the modify permission (or there are two special permissions you can set). User 2 does not get anything extra since it already has modify permissions. At Folder C, nothing gets added to User 1 or User 3 since they already had the read permission. Cool little note: If you look closely at the special permissions, you can see that when the "Delete" permission is turned off, Modify is turned off! If you would like a visual guide, right click the folder > advanced > Effective Access and choose your user to see. So, the answers are Y, Y, and N.

Can anyone explain to me how user 1 has write permissions in folder C? I get that C inherits permissions from A and B but only users 2 & 3 are in Group 2 which is given the writ3e permission. User 1 is not in any groups that receive write permissions. Am I missing something?

folders= A ,B ,C // users= 1 ,2 ,3 A: M(1 ,2) ,R(3) B: M(1 ,2) ,R(3) , W(3) C: M(1 ,2) ,R(3) , W(3)

I thought No, no, no from the beginning and still think so after reading all the comments here and testing the behavior myself. Permissions are not inherited from A to B. Permissions are inherited from B to C.

Sim, Sim, Não, testado.

It is Yes, Yes, No. User3 can write via inheritance, but Write does not include Delete. Modify includes Delete, but Write does not.

Yes, Yes, No, can moderatos please fix this question

yes yes no

You only disable inheritance for FolderA... When you put new perms on Folder A, they will be inherited by Folder B and C... Group 1 will have modify on A, B and C... Group 2 will have write on B and C etc etc

also tested in a lab, to confirm the YES, YES, NO answer

I get User1 can read and write files in FolderC, as it inherit write from FolderB. I get User3 cannot delete files in FolderC, as FolderA Inheritance is disabled. But why User2 can delete all files in FolderB??? FolderA inheritance is disabled, and it only have write access, not modify.

why statement 1 is yes? the permission inheritance is disabled and permission in folder c is ready only for group 3?

No, No, No Am I missing something, "permission inheritance is disabled"

If inheritance was turned off from folder A, then folder b and c still have read and modification guys this must be all yes, yes yes.
