What Does \"Update Security Folders\" Do?

  • Theres a right click action on the system folder that says "Update Security Folders". I ran it to see, but nothing happened. Whats this action for?

  • This action runs a stored procedure that allows you to recalculate the security folder IDs for folders in the event they were not being kept correctly for some reason. It does this by changing the is_security_folder value for folders if the folder is at root, set to not inherit permissions, or if there is a group or account access right for it. It then updates the security folder ID to match the folder ID for the folder it inherits permissions from. So basically this is used if permissions inheritance is messed up in some way and needs to be reset.
