We're experiencing some weird problems with the permissions on our Sharepoint.
We have set the permissions on the top-level site (parent - http://companyweb) and we also have about 5 different subsites inheriting the permissions from the parent site. Inside the 5 subsites, there are different lists and documents.
A while back we've set the permissions on some of the lists to inherit from the parent site, but then we changed our mind and set unique permissions to them. For some reason, after a few days its resets back to inheriting its permissions from the parent site.
Question(s):
1. When you set the permission on a subsite to inherit its permissions from the parent site, does it propagate down to all the lists/galleries/documents inside it?
2. Is there a reason why the unique permissions that are set to some of the lists/documents are reset back to inherit its permissions from the parent site?
3. How can #2 be fixed or prevented?
**We do not use Sharepoint Groups as there are a lot of different permissions that we set for each lists,subsites,etc.. and its a PITA in making up names and maintaining them**
any help would be appreciated.
thanks!
