Unable to remove default user/group ACLs on a windows ROOT Drive using Ansible

Hello Ansible community.

Can anyone please help me on the below issue.

Issue::

When creating a new volume on windows instance, the new Drive is getting created with default built in users/grops permissions like CREATOR OWNER, Users, Everyone etc. Want to remove those default users/groups from the drive.

So used windows ansible module “windows_acl_inheritance” to achieve the same but its not removing those default users/groups from that drive.

(ansible.windows.win_acl_inheritance – Change ACL inheritance — Ansible Documentation)

The same module is working perfectly on any subfolders under that ROOT(D:) drive but not working on the ROOT drive.

Question::

Is there any way with ansible windows module to remove the default users/groups ACLs so that those ACls wouldn’t get inherited to the newly created subfolders inside the drive(D:)?

Ansible version : 2.9.13

python: 2.7.18

Thanks,
