Set Windows permissions such that group members can edit and others can only read & execute

Image
0 I'm on Windows 10.0.16299 Pro. I have a particular folder containing script files. I want all users to be able to read and execute them. Additionally, I want members of a particular local group to be able to edit them in-place without having to authenticate (or indeed perform any other special action) each time. In principle the “particular local group” could be any arbitrary group created for the purpose. For my current application the most natural choice would be Administrators, but I could use another one if that specific group has special behavior that complicates what I'm trying to do. So basically I’m looking for behavior analogous to what you get after setting rwxrwxr-x permissions on a file in a POSIX system. I followed the procedure below and the permissions ended up looking right in theory.
