Maybe I am not an expert as you are.
Can you give me the steps for the workaround you are
talking about ?
I am trying to give a few domain users rights to
view/modify files that are created in an EFS folder by
another user. Possibly your solution may work, but then I
didn't comprehend what you said.
Thanks a bunch.
