[Question] - File/Folder Permissions

[prp8683]

As for the other issue with write access in a subfolder where they only have read to the parent...this is very much possible. Just make sure that either "Everyone" or "Authenticated Users" (preferably) is in the "Bypass traverse checking" security option of gpedit.msc.

No need for this; traverse checking merely verifies that the user has Traverse Folder (execute) permissions for the parents; it doesn't check read/write or other permissions. Also, it's on by default for Everyone, and removing that entry breaks things. (the default permissions aren't set up to be compatible with this, and from what I've read, the traverse checking algorithms are broken in recent releases. At the very least, SYSTEM requires this right or bad things happen.)

All that is required is to configure READ access on the parent, then add write access to the child. (Note that if an explicit DENY ACL for write access is attached to the parent folder, ACL inheritance must be disabled for the child, or the DENY will be inherited and override the ALLOW.)
