Guest Wowbagger Posted July 2, 2008 Posted July 2, 2008 Everybody in the office has a drive mapping of \\server\share On this share is a sub-directory of s:\photos People need to have full rights to s:\ and they need full rights to all of the sub-folders from s:\photos but within s:\photos I want to prevent them from being able to create sub-folders or writing/editing any files in that directory? How do I set the permissions to skip this one specific folder in the tree and still allow all of the permissions from s:\ to be inherited by s:\photos\whatever?
Guest Phillip Windell Posted July 2, 2008 Posted July 2, 2008 Re: permissions question on server 2003 Turn off inheritence on that folder. You will have the option to Copy or Remove the NTFS Security, pick which works best and then clean up and adjust the NTFS Security. -- Phillip Windell http://www.wandtv.com The views expressed, are my own and not those of my employer, or Microsoft, or anyone else associated with me, including my cats. ----------------------------------------------------- "Wowbagger" <Wowbagger~~> wrote in message news:OyT7YoF3IHA.4484@TK2MSFTNGP02.phx.gbl... > Everybody in the office has a drive mapping of \\server\share > > On this share is a sub-directory of s:\photos > > People need to have full rights to s:\ and they need full rights to all of > the sub-folders from s:\photos but within s:\photos I want to prevent them > from being able to create sub-folders or writing/editing any files in that > directory? > > How do I set the permissions to skip this one specific folder in the tree > and still allow all of the permissions from s:\ to be inherited by > s:\photos\whatever? > >

Actually forget my first post. I assumed the other folders were not under "photos". Basically you are screwed. You need Photos to be a lower folder not a top-of-the-tree folder. The way you have it now you would have to turn off inheritance on all of the folders under Photo and then manually edit the permissions on all of them one at a time. The only good thing would be folders that are under them the next level down because they could keep the inheritance. -- Phillip Windell http://www.wandtv.com The views expressed, are my own and not those of my employer, or Microsoft, or anyone else associated with me, including my cats. -----------------------------------------------------
Guest Raman Katwal Posted July 4, 2008 Posted July 4, 2008 permissions question on server 2003 - Phillip Windell permissions question on server 2003 - Phillip Windell I am not the solution I am giving you is the right what you required but I suggest you to try. RIght click on the folder and in security remove the user's ID's other than Administrator and also remove system user ....It will prevent the user to access other than Adminisrator profile and rights.
