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. ARM displays "Broken ACLs" and removes them by reapplying the inheritance.
