File Share

[johng75]

i thought i had the concept down but apparently i dont...

i want to share one mail folder to the user community and inside that folder each group will have its own folders

everyone will be mapped to the main folder, and no one can add files to the main folder, each of the group folders will have permissions set up only allowing users of that group access to that folder, and inside there is where the users will add and delete files/folders

i am at ground zero still, so the server isnt yet deployed and the data isnt moved over yet

if i share the main folder i set everyone as read only, then create a folder inside and specify a person full control of the sub folder

i map that person to the shared main folder, try to write to it and they are denied, but then when i go into the sub folder and try and write to it, im still denied???

i change the share permissions to full and the user can read/wite to both main and sub folder

i then leave the sharing at full, but change the security permission of the main fodler to admins full rights only, and everyone read

i connect to the share from the user and i can still ready and write to the main folder...

im confused and cant find anything that covers this type of scenario...

i need to force everyone to write to only their folders because on the old file server they had access the the main folder and instead of writing to their own folders, everyone just dumped to the main folder and runs off of it.


Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention
of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body,
but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up,
totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming

--"WOW-- What a Ride!"

I'm having the same problems. After 10 years of following the same methods of sharing and applying access rights none of this seems to work in WIN2008R2. It is quite a drawn out procedure to secure folders.

I'm really unimpressed with how they have done this.
