Can I revoke permissions of certain groups or users without effecting the permissions of others?
Yes. This tool will be used when you would like to revoke access to a specific file or directory. Let’s say that you would like to revoke all or ‘some’ permission on all files and directories for the user ‘Everyone’. This would normally be very difficult to do (especially without affecting any other user’s permissions); however, with Security Explorer(tm) it is very easy. Simply go to the root directory (or any other directory where you would like to start) and Choose ‘Tools | Revoke Permissions’. Then select the user ‘Everyone’, and the permissions that you would like to revoke ‘(All)’ or just the ‘Delete’ permission. Select that you would like to modify all files and directories, and recurse subdirectories. Click ‘OK’ and your all finished! The group Everyone’s rights have been removed without affecting anyone else’s permissions.
