Need help setting a special permission
Hello everyone,
I need help setting up special permissions to work in the following way: I have a user who I want to have read access to the folder. This user should also have the ability to create files/folders, but not modify the contents of a file/folder or delete the file/folder, unless that the user created the file/folder. I have attempted to do it this way: I gave the user the following "allowed" permissions: Read and Execute List Folder Contents Read Write I did not place a check mark next to: Modify Full Control However with these permissions, the user can still open any file in the directory, regardless of who created it, change something and then save it. Now correct me if I am wrong, here, isn't that "modifying" the file? This is something the user should not be allowed to do (and doesn't have permissions to do). What is the difference between "Write" and "Modify"? When I try denying the "Modify" ability, I it also denies the "Write" ability. I went into the special permissions and saw something called "Create Folders/ Append Data". This looks like it would work, execpt I still need to allow the user the ability to create folders. Why would these two things be grouped together? Thanks Dave |

Need help setting a special permission
Write permission for the file might allow a user to alter a file if in the
process the application does not delete the original file. In that case the user would be using his append data/write data permission. The link below explains special permissions. What I would try is to give the user/group read/list/execute permissions on the general security page which is for folder, subfolders, and files. Then in special permissions add the user/group again and select the two permissions for create files and create folders and for the "apply onto" box select folders and subfolders only. The user however would be able to modify his own files because the owner would be given permissions shown for creator owner which by default is full control. FYI when you see a two part permission such as Create Files/Write Data, the permission before the / applies to folders only and the permission after the / applies to files only. --- Steve http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;EN-US;308419 Create Files/Write Data The Create Files permission applies only to folders and allows or denies the user from creating files in the folder. The Write Data permission applies only to files and allows or denies the user from making changes to the file and overwriting existing content by NTFS. Create Folders/Append Data The Create Folders permission applies only to folders and allows or denies the user from creating folders in the folder. The Append Data permission applies only to files and allows or denies the user from making changes to the end of the file but not from changing, deleting, or overwriting existing data .
