That's not what I meant. You have xx number of users and in ADU&C, you
configure them, right? Under what node do they appear in ADU&C in the
domain's hierarchy? Users is the default. Whether it's Users or some other
node, that's the container whose permissions you'll want to examine, as well
as those for its parent containers. The symptoms indicate that the
permissions are set too loosely somewhere in the hierarchy, with the result
that individual user accounts are inheriting those too-loose permissions.

Once you fix that, users will be able to set their own per-folder
permissions, which is what you want.
