Inherited ACL is not recognised as inherited

[alexkuc]

Hello!

I am running version 4.2.4 of NTFSSecurity on PSv5 (5.1.17763.134). For some reason, NTFSSecurity is not recognising inherited permissions. I have attached screenshots which show this behaviour:

Effective access is constructed using the explicit and implicit permissions on a file or folder. The inheritance has an impact on the result but the result itself has no inheritance information. If you calculate the effective access using the Windows Explorer, there is no information about inheritance either.

I see. It makes sense. In that case, how come, there is InheritedFrom field? Is it because of the used class for that cmdlet?

[raandree]

Right, I am just reusing the same class here to also reuse the same formatter. Is this extremely misleading?

[alexkuc]

I wouldn't say it is extremely misleading. From what I understand in terms of UI, output fields which are empty can cause confusion. I suppose if you could hide InheritedFrom field in this output (as it is not used anyway), it would make it more UI/UX-friendly?
