Prohibiting Container Deletion When Deletion of its Parent Container Contents Is Allowed

The following two security rules set different sets of access rights for
a parent object (in this example, the picture_library folder on
domain example.com) and its child objects - subfolders and files
contained in the folder. The resulting security configuration will

part of the path to the domain root folder where the example.com folder
is located. The SubPath attribute completes the path to the
httpdocspicture_library folder to which the rule will be applied.
AceFlags=”ThisObjectOnly” specifies that,…
