How do I force a new module to inherit the file permissions the modules directory has, after update?

Question

I'm using Drush 7 on Windows Server 2012 and IIS 8. Whenever I use drush up to update a third-party module, IIS can't access the files because during the update process, when drush is replacing the module files, the entire module folder contains permissions assigned to only the administrator, with inheritance disabled.

I need Drush to replace the module files with inheritance enabled; otherwise, Drupal will complain that it can't read the module files and break my site.

How can I achieve this?

Answer 1

I know this is old but recently I stumble upon the same problem:

• Site installed on IIS 8 under Windows Server 2012 R2

• After updating with Drush core and modules, permissions of modules and updated files get messed up.

Solution I found is:

• right click on website folder> Security > Advanced
• check: "Replace all child object permission entries with inheritable permission entries from this object"
• Apply

If files don't shows navigate to /sites/default/files or whenever files are stored and change permission to this folder and subfolders.
