Prevent user from deleting one file

[Guest Rik G.]

I've given a user full control over a folder, its sub folders and files.

I want to prevent the user from deleting one particular file in that

folder. He should only be able to read it.

 

I check all Deny permissions for that file for that user except Read

Data. In the resultant permissions all looks OK. However, the user

cannot read the file (Access denied) and he can still delete it.

 

What's going on?

 

Regards

You can configure Delete permission in the Advance of the security tab in

the properties of the folder.

 

So:

1. Open the properties of the folder

2. Security -> Advance

3. Select the user -> Edit

4. Select the user -> Edit

5. Untick "Delete"

I have tried that too, but it does not work. The user can still delete the

file...

Maybe you want to enable file auditing, so you'll know who deletes the file?
