Question

A technician configures a folder named ProjectData on an NTFS volume (D:) with custom permissions that deny the Interns group access. A user asks the technician to relocate a file from a different folder on the same D: volume into ProjectData. After the file is moved, the technician notices the file did not adopt the ProjectData folder's permissions. What best explains this behavior?

Accepted Answer

When a file is moved within the same NTFS volume, it retains its original permissions rather than inheriting the destination folder's permissions.

Answer

Moving a file always strips all NTFS permissions, requiring the technician to reapply them manually.

Answer

Files moved to any folder automatically inherit the destination's permissions regardless of the volume.

Answer

Share permissions override NTFS permissions during a move, so the folder's deny rule is ignored.
