    No way to set specific permission to trace files, permission for trace files are not inherited from folder, it is the same behaviour like for DB files.

    Interesting, I'm wondering if it behaves the same with Audit files.

    I was playing with it today - it looks like just the trace files as I can see the inheritance, permissions on the other file types. Interesting that extended events files have the permissions inherited from the folder.
