Taking ownership only on folders/files within subfolders

[steve00]

Can someone tell me how I can set a permission on a folder to say don't allow users to take ownership of subfolders but do allow them to take ownership of folders/files within those subfolders?

E.g

<TOPLEVEL>
<USER1>
<SOMEFOLDER>
<USER2>
<USER3>
...
<USER50>

So I want to set this permission up on the toplevel folder (as I need to create over 100 user folders) and say that users can take ownership within the user folders but not take ownership of the user folders themselves.

Can't figure out how to do this.

Thanks

You need to play around with it but something along the lines of:

set the target folder to not allow take ownership (from advanced) and make sure that "replace permission entres on all child objects" is unticked.

than on the subfolders allow take ownership and untick "inherit from parent the permission....." and tick "replace permission entres on all child objects".

I havent tried this but would be something worth trying.

Hi westredd,

I'll have another go today and try what you said. Thanks for the post.

htmlman, this system is not in a windows domain so i'm not using ad. Thanks for the link though.
