Greetings, studying for the 70-270 and had a situation at work today and wasn't able to find a clear answer from any of my books that I'm using towards the exam.
Had a user report that he isn't able to write to a MS Word doc, however when tracing back the NTFS permission from the root level, he should have had the ability. From what I understand NTFS permission flow downward. Also, a co-worker of his was able to write to this doc with no issue.
However noticed that the 'Read Only' File Attribute was marked on that folder.
So my question is what role does the File Attributes play on the files/folders, along with NTFS Permissions?
thanks

Windows 101: Know the basics about NTFS permissions
NTFS permissions do indeed traverse down but only if inheritency is turned on.
File attributes can be read/written but only if NTFS permissions allow this.
Have you checked the effective permissions of this word doc for your user?
