Guest Leo Posted March 18, 2008 Posted March 18, 2008 I am not able to remove the read-only settings for folders created under the d: partition. I am trying to create a shared folder in which network users can create and share documents. However, network users are not able to save into the sahred folder even though I have given full access to 'Everyone', or even if I give full access to a specific user. I have tried modifying the registry and using the attrib command and the read-only setting still has not changed. Please provide assistance as to how to remove the read-only access.

Check your NTFS Permissions. The shares permissions really don't do much with NTFS volumes because you can give people every permission under the sun, but unless they have the NTFS permissions to do anything, they can't. -- ---------------- Andrew Davis IT Administrator WestGate Church

Guest Saral6978 Posted March 18, 2008 Posted March 18, 2008 Re: Read Only folder settings 2003 server std R2 I would assume that you removed the went into advanced settings of the Security tab and removed the check mark next to "Allow Inheritable Permissions from the parent to propagage..."? I've been using R2 and have not come across this problem at all. Someone once recommended that when creating shares (for the simplest configuration), Add the Everyone group to the Share permissions with full access, then go into the Security tab to set the NTFS permissions to those groups that need access. Just make sure you turn off the Inheritance from the parent folder. > "Andrew Davis" wrote: > >> On Tue, 18 Mar 2008 10:27:02 -0700, Leo wrote: >> >>> I am not able to remove the read-only settings for folders created >>> under the d: partition.

Guest Meinolf Weber Posted March 18, 2008 Posted March 18, 2008 Re: Read Only folder settings 2003 server std R2 Hello Leo, On the share you have to set the share permission for authenticated users to Full control and then configure the Fodler permissions for your users/groups.

Guest Bruce Sanderson Posted March 19, 2008 Posted March 19, 2008 Re: Read Only folder settings 2003 server std R2 The default Share permissions in Windows Server 2003 is Everyone - Read (only) - this is set when the Share is created. If you want users to be able to modify things via the Share you have to change the Share Permissions from Read to Change. The resulting permissions for a user are the more restrictive of the Share and NTFS permissions. -- Bruce Sanderson http://members.shaw.ca/bsanders/ It's perfectly useless to know the right answer to the wrong question.

Guest lforbes Posted March 21, 2008 Posted March 21, 2008 RE: Read Only folder settings 2003 server std R2 Hi, Have you checked your Share Permissions? In Windows 2003 Server, ALL new shares are automatically created with Everyone=Read SHARE permissions. What this does is make everyone read regardless of NTFS permissions as it is the most restrictive of the two combined. Go to the Share tab on the folder and click Permissions and see what the share permissions are.
