How are inherited permissions used in a container?
Inherited permissions are those that are propagated to an object from a parent object. Inherited permissions ease the task of managing permissions and ensure consistency of permissions among all objects within a given container. By default, objects within a container inherit the permissions from that container when the objects are created.
What’s the difference between explicit and inherited permissions?
There are two types of permissions: explicit permissions and inherited permissions. Explicit permissions are those that are set by default on non-child objects when the object is created, or by user action on non-child, parent, or child objects. Inherited permissions are those that are propagated to an object from a parent object.
When do inherited deny permissions prevent access to an object?
