Re: Fixate folders

Thanks for your answer Arek.
Yes, the users should be able to work with the subfolders and files within the projectnumber-folders but when they accidentally drag and drop one projectfolder into another one, it should not move anything.
Ik have tried also tried to clear the permission inheritance from the parent folders, but can't seem to apply rights that will do the job.

An easy way of explaining what I want is by example: Say I have 5 folders, they are project 1 to 5 (subfolders of the folder 'projects', which is shared). I want them to be fixed at the place where I've put them so when a user tries to shift folder 2 into folder 4 for example, nothing will happen (also the subfolders and files stay put). Though I do want the users to be able to work with the subfiles and folders (rename, modify, etc).

Thanks,

Arno

Hello,

I am trying to fixate some folders withing a shared folder so that the users cannot delete or move them (accidentally) into another folder. I have been trying several things (adjusting rights) but just as it seems to work, I can't move one folder into another one but it has moved the underlying folders and files (users must have full access to those ones because they work with them). So I just need a solution to make sure the folders (with their files) cannot be moved.

Thanks in advance,

Arno Mühren


If I understood you correctly, you have some subfolders and files within them that users should not be able to move around, right?

In this case, you need to clear the permission inheritance from the parent folder. By default, all permissions are propagated from top level down.
