Identify corrupted inheritance

Broken Access Control Lists (ACLs) interfere with the NTFS inheritance on the file server. As a result, the subdirectory does not receive the correctly inherited permissions, even though the inheritance is enabled.

To resolve this issue, generate an ARM report that displays the broken ACLs.

1. Log in to the Access Rights Manager application.

2. In the toolbar, click Resources.

3. In the Resources column, maximize File server and select the targeted file server.

   

4. In the right column, click the Report drop-down arrow and select Report on paths with different access rights.

   

5. In the Report on paths with different access rights window, enter the report settings.

   

   1. In the Report configuration fields, enter a report name and optional comments regarding the report.

   2. In the Objects box and Resources tree, select a report range.

   3. Click Start to generate the report.

6. Open the spreadsheet file with Microsoft Excel or another spreadsheet application.

7. Configure the spreadsheet.

   

   1. Select the tab that contains the desired resource.

   2. Select the third row and add a filter. Filter the column Inheritance corrupted by Yes.
