Steps to reproduce

  1. Create a group with read access to a folder "/Projects/"
  2. Assign a user to that group.
  3. Create a sub-folder "/Projects/Desks"
  4. Assign that user advanced permissions to Projects to read, write and delete
  5. The user will only have Read access to Projects or Projects/Desks

Expected behaviour

I expect inherited permissions to be applied at the more explicit user level before their group permissions are used.

Actual behaviour
