win_acl_inheritance - Change ACL inheritance
New in version 2.1.
Synopsis
- Change ACL (Access Control List) inheritance and optionally copy inherited ACE’s (Access Control Entry) to dedicated ACE’s or vice versa.
Parameters
| Parameter | Choices/Defaults | Comments | 
|---|---|---|
| path 
        required
        | 
        Path to be used for changing inheritance
        | |
| reorganize | 
 
        no
        | 
        For P(state) = absent, indicates if the inherited ACE's should be copied from the parent directory. This is necessary (in combination with removal) for a simple ACL instead of using multiple ACE deny entries.
        
        For P(state) = present, indicates if the inherited ACE's should be deduplicated compared to the parent directory. This removes complexity of the ACL structure.
        | 
| state |
