Inheritance option on a folder under the root

Hi techies,

have You noticed that sometimes, NOT always, when happens to clear the option for inheritance, that option on that folder becomes not more available and all ntfs permissions are blocked to which was?

I have not understand why.
Someone has some information on that?

Thank You.

What do you mean when you say that option becomes unavailable? When you uncheck inheritance do you mean you can't check it again?

Perhaps when you disabled inheritance, you chose the option to remove instead of copy which removed all your NTFS permissions which would prevent people from accessing the folder.

If you uncheck the inheritance box and click remove then click ok, you would have blocked yourself out of the file/folder you are editing. Is what what you are trying to figure out?

No no, I want say that permissions are still there, but are unmodifiable and the "Inherit" option is also obsured. Soon I will post an image.

These, I was working on a copy in my first language:

The owner was "Franca", but when I taken the ownership of the folder, I was newly able to do changes.

Ah, OK, just now I notice that as Administrator in that moment I had removed from myself the ntfs permission to do changes in the permissions, then I was unable to do changes.

The administrator group has modify rights and not full control rights. You need to make administrators have full control rights (if you are in the admin group) in order to modify permissions.

Yes, yes Mishra, I have realized, just now what was the issue. Thank You.
