If you add a new folder it automatically has the access rights from the parent folder. It is possible to uncheck this option but the access rights from the parent folder is still set. You have to control the access right for all groups and set the proper rights.
It would be helpful if all access rights would be set to "No access rights" as soon as you uncheck the Option "Inherit permissions from the parent folder".

Hi Daniela,
Thanks for your feedback. We recently invented the access rights functionality in Projectplace and decided that we should not do any changes to the basic functionality of the access rights.
Best regards,
Karolina
