SUMMARY
=======
In Windows NT Advanced Server Services for Macintosh, AppleTalk cascades the
general rights down to each subfolder from the parent folder.
MORE INFORMATION
================
For example, if a file folder has the following rights
See See Make
Folder Files Changes
--------------------------------------------------------
Owner: User1 X X X
User\Group: Users X X X
Everyone O O O
a different user who creates a folder within the above folder would receive the
following rights:
See See Make
Folder Files Changes
--------------------------------------------------------
Owner: User2 X X X
User\Group: Users X X X
Everyone O O O
The owner of this new folder is now the new owner and thus this user now has full
rights to change the rights for any group that wants to access this folder (on
the Macintosh side). This can bring up some administration problems because an
administrator may want to give all rights of administration to a given folder's
owner for all subfolders. This is an issue related to AppleTalk functionality
rather than to Windows NT Advanced Server or LAN Manager rights.
