The problem is a rights problem. I have defines a Security Group
that all the drafts people are part of, and sharing files works fine,
except when a person makes a new file. They are the owner by
default, and no one can access the file on the share until I force
ownership to Administrator or to one of the other users. Once I've
forced ownership, the shared file works fine. Even when I browse to
the file on the server to check ownership, I am forced to take
ownership before I can do anything with the file. Obviously this is
not a workable scenario... I can't tell the users... "OK, here's how
it works, make a new file, then call the Network Admin and have him
change the rights on the file, and voila, it'll be sharable." I'm a
tad frustrated.

Why does this happen? Is there a default policy somewhere that
precludes others from seeing the file? I can accept that the ID10T
problem is sitting in my chair, but I simply can't seem to find
resolution.

Ownership shouldn't make a lick of difference here.

Where's the folder? What're the share permissions, and what are the NTFS
permissions explicitly set and/or inherited from the parent?
