Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When a file is copied from one location to another on the same NTFS volume, the copied file inherits the permissions of the destination folder. Since the Mach-3 folder allows Full control to the Editor group, the copied file will also allow Full control to the Editor group, regardless of the original file's permissions.
