file permissions

[Guest Tester]

Hi there,

I have a few shares on a server that users can list/view and they have

some subfolders. What permissions should should I assign to subfolders

so users can see and modify the contents, rename, but not delete the

subfolders? Thank you, T

This is possible but not trivial to do.

 

You will need to set the FILE permissions to the desired (e.g., Modify)

setting and the Directories (separately and without propagating) to the

correct permissions (e.g., Read).

 

Directories are NOT required to have the same permissions as the files

within them -- but this requires EITHER (re)setting the directory

permissions

after the files are created, or (re)setting the file permissions after they

are

created OR:

 

You may need to set the Directory Permissions (for the directory itself)

different

from the INHERITABLE permisions on the directory so that new files will be

'born' with the correct -- and different -- permissions. Standard tools

like

Windows Explorer won't do this, neither will Cacls.exe but XCacls will and

so

will the (new) ICacls.exe, as will SetAcls.exe (from SourceForge.net).

 

You may need to use "Special Permission" to perform such custom permissions

as setting a directory to allow Creation of Files but NOT of child

Directories (or

vice versa), or for allowing Write, but not Delete (although by overwriting

an

effective delete is still possible.)

Uncheck "Delete Subfolders and Files"

 

Uncheck "Delete Subfolders and Files"

 

Hey,

 

First click on the root folder where yours share belong. Then right click on that folder > Click on security Tab > click on user then click on Advanced Button > click on edit > here you have an option " Delete Subfolders and Files" uncheck this option.

 

Then further they won't be able to delete subfolder n files.
