Re: Ooops not resolved

Anthony,

I was logged in as Administrator. I did take ownership to get the ability
to add users back onto the list and set permissions. The userlist now
includes the Administrator and Everyone. All permissions are issued
including full control. Some subfolders are accessible, some aren't. Some
files are accessible and some aren't. No files (.pdf) will open. This is
what is bizarre.

I have deleted files and folders that others have created. I am an
administrator and should expect to. But this problem doesn't seem to be
subject to any rules or rationale.

Thank you for your response and God Bless,

Mark A. Sam

It is less bizarre than it seems.
The Creator Owner can only delete stuff they create or own.
As administrator you can over-rule by taking ownership and then setting
the permissions.

I got permissions set on the main folder, but a couple of the subfolders
are denying me permission, even as Administrator, and some of the files
are being denied in the folders that I can access.

I know little about this stuff, but it seems bizarre. It also seems
irrational that the Administrator can be denied permission, yet if a new
user is added, he has permission to delete folders and can wipe out
valuable information. Am I wrong in thinking that an Admin should have
all rights, and a new user no rights until they are granted?

God Bless,

Hello,

I recently set Special permissions on a folder and its subfolders to
Deny Delete and Deny Delete on Folders and Subfolders. The only group
listed was Everyone. After that, I think someone else unchecked Full
Control and Modify permissions. Either that or they unchecked
themselves. When I rechecked Full Control and Modify, they showed up
in the special permissions section. Then I removed all special
permissions thinking I could just start over from scratch, but the group
Everyone had disappeared and no group listed.

Now I can't add a group and can't access the folders. How can I fix
this? The server is running Windows 2003 Small business edition if that
matters.

Thank you for any help and God Bless,

Mark A. Sam
