Currently, when changing permissions on a folder in Pterodactyl, only the parent folder is affected, not its contents. In Linux, many users expect behavior similar to
chmod -R, where permissions are applied to all files and subfolders.This raises a discussion:
Option A: Keep the current behavior (only the parent folder).
Option B: Apply permissions recursively (more convenient and closer to typical Linux expectations).
I personally prefer Option B.
When you change permissions on a directory, most of the time you expect them to apply to the entire directory tree, not just the parent folder. This behavior is more intuitive and aligns better with how permissions are commonly managed in Linux (e.g. using chmod -R).
