folder permissions

I work for a big company and all the people within my unit share a common drive to save documents to. I am listed in the group(AMS group) that has access rights to folders within this drive. but i'm trying to restrict access to a confidential folder so that only I can access it.

when I set the folder permissions I get a message advising that "restrict" will override "access". so that even though I have given myself "access" rights and given "restrict" rights to the AMS group, because i'm listed within the AMS group it won't let me into the file.

any ideas

thanks

General question about folder level permissions

How is the level of access on a particular folder determined? I have heard (its just hearsay so am not particularly sure of it) that the access a particular user/group has to a low level directory is also affected by the level of access granted to the user/group on its parent directories. e.g. ...

ftpgroups

ftpgroups(4)															      ftpgroups(4)

NAME

       ftpgroups - FTP Server enhanced group access file

SYNOPSIS

       /etc/ftpd/ftpgroups

       The ftpgroups file contains the enhanced group access information.

       After  login, if the ftpaccess(4) file includes private yes, the user may use the SITE GROUP and SITE GPASS commands to specify an enhanced
       access group and a password for that group. If the access group name and password are valid, the FTP Server executes setegid(2) to make the
       user a member of the real group listed in the ftpgroups file.

       The format for the ftpgroups file is:

       accessgroup:encrypted_password:real_group_name

       The fields are defined as follows:

       accessgroup	       An arbitrary string of alphanumeric and punctuation characters.

       encrypted_password      The group password encrypted exactly like in /etc/shadow.

       real_group_name	       The name of a valid group returned by getgrnam(3C).

       The  privatepw  utility is an administrative tool to add, delete and list enhanced access group information in the ftpgroups file. See pri-
       vatepw(1M). Lines that begin with a # sign are treated as comment lines and are ignored.
