the item in red above shows the same security for the current and the parent the reason this is reported as a difference in security is due to inheritance being removed.
Remarks
•Secdiff without /D identifies where there is a difference in security but not what the difference is.
•Secdiff with /D identifies where there is a difference in security. Note it might appear confusion to show the current and the parent item having the same security. The reason this is show is because the inheritance from the parent had been removed.
