Notes

• This operation removes any custom access list entries on the target item and reverts it to inherit security from its parent folder.
• For documents: the document's security is reset to inherited mode.
• For folders: the folder's security is reset to inherited mode.
• Once applied, the item's effective permissions will be determined by the nearest ancestor with a custom access list.
• To set a custom access list, use SetAccessList.
• To view the current access list, use GetAccessList.
