I have noted that some how the individual user document area security rights have been altered. This now means that all the users of one group (STUDENTS) now have full control over everyone's documents. Obviously undesirable and potentially dangerous.
This appears to be due to inheritance and so I considered the following:
Changing the root security to Administrators (Full) and CREATOR OWNER (READ and EXECUTE), setting the ownership of the root folder to STUDENTS and therefore in effect allowing students to read, execute and navigate through this root folder if necessary. Then I thought of giving CREATOR OWNER full control over the individual student document folders and making the owner the individual student; thus making them the only one except for the administrator to have full access or any access at all. The issue is that this will not replicate for any new document folders and so how is the security normally set so that only the user and the administrator have access to personal file space?
