I am trying to DENY some people the right to create folders on a particular share. When "Create Folders/ Append Data" is checked deny, but all other special permissions are checked allow users can, create, rename, and delete files, but cannot add to files. So basically I can delete a word document, but I could not open it, add the letter "t" somewhere, and then save the document. Is there a way around this? Why would Microsoft group these permissions together. Anyone could get around this by opening a document, editing it, Save As > (somewhere on local machine), delete the original (on network share), and then copy from machine to network share. I only want to prevent people from creating a billion folders, but I want them to be able to edit documents et cetera....
