Confused About Folder Rights

[Guest Art Cabot]

I had to move some folders from one 2003 server to another and now people

can't write to them. The properties show "Read Only" on the folder, the AD

Group has Modify rights and the same group has all rights to the share. They

can write if they go to the share, but not if they have a drive mapped (via

login script) directly to the folder.

 

I've never been totally up-to-speed on Windows rights, but I'm really trying

to understand this. Anybody have a clue for me?

Art,

In the Advanced part of the Security tab you have a couple of options to

re-apply permissions. You probably need to use those.

The rights are being inherited from the parant folder. Stop inheretance and

change the rights or change the rights on the parant folder.

Been there, done that, didn't work. Besides, if they didn't have Windows

rights would they be able to have rights to the share?

 

All of these folders come up as "Read Only" and I can't unset the attribute.

Plus, Effective Permissions says they DO have rights. Is it the attribute

that's the problem and, if so, why can't I unset it?

WAG:

Can you, did you take ownership of the folder?

I don't think permissions are copied with folders

If i log in as me to look at properties on a shared folder, I can't

change the readonly checkbox.

If i log in as the creator/owner, I can change that little checkbox

but I don't really think that's your problem as the box is shaded as

read only on the folder I'm looking at, not checked.

If the share permissions explicitly deny read or change then that will

overide the ntfs permissions.

If you can take ownership of the folder, you can do anything you want

with it.
