Shared Directories 1

[JayE]

Hello,

I look after a small network of 19 users running on Microsoft SBS 4.5.

I have a shared folder to which I have allowed access to just specified individuals.

However, the user I added to the list a few days ago STILL can't get into a file in the shared directory (everyone else in the "list" can do).

I've tried taking her name out and putting it back in again - to non avail.

Any suggestions?

Regards,
Jay

Check the permisions on the file in question. Does the user have the required permissions to gain access?

Hi,

Yes, that's the first thing I checked.

Do you have permissions set up for each individual user or do you have groups set up?

check to see if you have permissions on the share as well as on the files. If that isn't the problem, try to log on as the user yourself at the server, then on a remote workstation and see if you can duplicate the problem.

Hi everyone,

Just to confirm - rather belatedly - that this was indeed the problem, permissions were set on the folder but not on that particular file - strange!

Thank you so much for your assistance.

Aren't these forums brilliant !!

Jay
