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
