Note: This is not a duplicate of the question "System.Security.AccessControl.PropagationFlags Powershell Equivalent GUI use?"

I'm in a strange predicament. I understand the concept of ACE permissions inheritance in the NTFS file system; and it makes sense to me when I use it in the code; but when it comes the GUI I'm sort of lost:

The documentation for the System.Security.AccessControl.InheritanceFlags enumeration has the following members

  • ContainerInherit
  • None
  • ObjectInherit

Their explanations in the documentation make sense to me, and I have no issue with them; but I don't understand how each of these relate to doing the same thing in the GUI.

Can you please show me that path to replicating each functionality as it relates to the GUI dialogs?

The GUI equivalent would be the choice for "apply onto"

  • Files only = object inherit
  • Everything else that includes "folder" would be variations of "container inherit"
  • None would be a new ACL set that is not inherited from the parent.
