user could shift folder despite having only read rights

Hi all. I have a user who could shift a folder from our fileserver to another

location even though she has only read access rights(NTFS permission) to that

folder. I have checked the user's effective permission and found that she has

only read rights and traverse folder rights(assigned in special permission).

I understand traverse folder rights only allow a user to go into folders

which they do not have permissions without listing the contents. Hence why is

my user able to shift a folder which she does not have anything more than

read rights to it? Thks in advance.

What does "shift a folder" mean? Move?

 

If someone can move a folder, they clearly have more than read & traverse.

Hi,

 

I have too faced similar problems, since some users having Modify rights to

folders. But just that this happens mostly with a particular folder. Can we

enable auditing just to check about such events like moving folders to other

place ?

 

abc.
