Re: Permissions on a file server- how to reconcile sharing and securit

Hi
Hey, I'm a newbie sysadmin for a small file server, and I can't figure out
how to get the permissions the way I want them.

Ok let's try.

I'm sharing various folders on a drive on the network, and I want users to
have read-only access to everything except their own folder.
Share Full permissions to everyone (Sharing tab)
NTFS permissions (Security Tab) readonly permission to authenticated users,
and Full permissions to creator owner.

I hope that the information above helps you

Good Luck

The problem is, that users can't edit anything at all (even if I
explicitly
give them full control under the security tab) unless I give everyone full
control under the sharing tab. But if that's checked, then I can't
restrict
write access on individual folders using security. The only solution that
I
can see right now is to create a seperate group for each user and manually
restrict control on all folders, but that's horribly impractical. How can
I
get this to work?


Thanks,
