File permissions help 1

[roger85]

Hi

I've got me self stuck here and need some help.

On our data server we have a simple share called "Data", this has been shared and "everyone" has full permission to it for share access" but for NTFS access only a AD group called "Company Data" has full access to it. then who ever needs access to it is a member of this group.

Now i have been asked to create a folders somewhere and setup access to everone can create a doc in it but only the person who made the doc has permission to edit it, everone else must be able to only view it.

so we want the person who added the item to be able to change the item and for others to have read only access.

i hope this makes sense but more important i hope its possible.


thx

If it's a folder located within the share, prevent it from inheriting permissions from parent directory. Add the specific user to the permissions list with Write/Modify then add Everyone as having Read only. Should work fine.

Thanks but that wont work..

Let me try and explain again maybe a little more clearer.

Windows 2003 Server.
10 users all using XP

Want a central folder called "anthing" dont care.

Any of the 10 users must be able to create a new word doc and save into this foler, the user that created the original document must have full rights to his/her documen and no one else should be able to edit the docuemnt.

All other 9 users must only have Read Access to the documents.

Does this explain better?

create a group with the users in question as member
create the share and grant full control to that group
set the ntfs rights to read for that group, set the extended ntfs rights for the group to create file/write file
the creator/owner has full control by default

Thanks Lemon, but when i try i cant access the folder until i give the group full access.

i cant access the folder until i give the group full access" for the share (default is read), i wrote that!
i tested it in a vm, it´s working for me, user can create/modify when owner, only read if not

Hi Lemon13,

Just tried again and it works a treat.

The problem was we were using acounts that had "Administrator" rights, soon as i tested with a few standard users it worked.

Thanks Again for all the support.
