Re: Folder permissions & security??

Messing with permissions can create a mess - what follows comes from memory
(and that may not be too sharp!). ACL should not be used to set
permissions - ACL's purpose is to track users who have access and not to
detail permissions. Try: rt. click>shared folder>sharing tab>permissions and
you should be able to determine users and their permissions - generally only
an Administrator or the Creator-Owner may set and/or change permissions.

Ok this is what I have. I have a mapped drive created for a user who uses
it
to backup their work (its mapped to the file server). Under that drive
there
are about 5 or 6 folders. If you go under the security tab for the ACL it
shows Everyone. The user would like for this share/folder to only be
accessed
by himself and he cant make the changes to the ACL from his desktop (I
assume
because the Network Admin created this share for him). What I did was
remove
the Everyone group from the ACL, added his name and gave him full control
on
the map drive/parent folder. Now he can access the parent folder, but he
cant access 3 of the 6 child folders on the drive nor can he edit the ACL
himself. These folders were created over the last few months. He can
access
the other folders but not these. Where do I go to allow him full access
to
ALL of the folders, subfolders and files under the parent folder/drive?
Since I made the change he can only access a few of them. Any
suggestions??
