What are the rules that affect what happens to permissions when a file or folder is created, copied, or moved?

What will be an ideal response?

When a file or folder is created, copied, or moved, the file and folder permissions can be affected in the following ways (depending on how inheritance is set up in the target location):
* A newly created file inherits the permissions already set up in a folder.
* A file that is copied from one folder to another on the same volume inherits the permissions of the folder to which it is copied.
* A file or folder that is moved from one folder to another on the same volume takes with it the permissions it had in the original folder. For example, if the original folder had Read permissions for the Users domain local group and the folder to which it is transplanted has Modify permissions for Users, that file (or folder) will still only have Read permissions.
* A file or folder that is moved or copied to a folder on a different volume inherits the permissions of the folder to which it is moved or copied.
* A file or folder that is moved or copied from an NTFS volume to a folder in a FAT or FAT32 volume (including USB drives formatted for FAT/FAT32), such as on an older Windows Server 2003 server, is not protected by NTFS permissions, but it does inherit share permissions if they are assigned to the FAT/FAT32 folder.
* A file or folder that is moved or copied from a FAT volume to a folder in an NTFS volume inherits the permissions already assigned in the NTFS folder.
