Remove corrupted inheritance
Background / Value
Broken ACLs (Access Control Lists) interfere with permission inheritances on file servers. As a consequence the sub-directory will not inherit the correct permissions, despite this feature being activated. Access Rights Manager displays "Broken ACLs" and removes them by reapplying the inheritance.
