Inheritance In Windows permissions, inheritance is the concept that
when permissions for a folder are defined, any subfolders
within the defined folder inherit its permissions. This means
an administrator need not assign permissions for subfolders
as long as identical permissions are desired. Inheritance
greatly reduces administrative overhead and also results in
greater consistency in access permission management.
