I'm learning about NTFS permissions and I've realized that I can deny everything except full control on a folder or file. How does that work exactly in terms of logic? I've never understood why it denys from the level downwards instead of upwards (ie: deny someone write = deny everything above that instead of below). Why is it like that and how does that even work then if they still have the ability to go above that level?
Note: I haven't been able to really test any of this because all my allows are selected and grayed out so I don't know if that has something to add or do with it.
