We use a set folder structure for our documentation projects.

I created a \"template\" folder, and stored it in a folder called \"Admin\".
I assigned user permissions for the various sub-folders, so managers can read & write in all sub-folders, but writers can only write in certain sub-folders (they can read all sub-folders).

When I copied the folder to a projects folder, the whole folder and sub-folders were copied, but the user rights have been lost - now, in the sub-folders where writers could write, this is not read only.

Is there a way to preserve user permissions when copying folders with sub-folders?
