Hi,

I am trying to set file permissions on a shared folder on my domain server
without any luck and I hope that someone here can help me with that.

I want to make a shared folder on the server where all users has their mail
files, kind of like linux /var/mail. You as a user can see all mail files
(.pst files) in this folder but they you can only write to your own folder
(so that your outlook client can write to it).

How is this done?

I thought it would be as simple as creating a folder, share it for everyone
and add the user to the specified mail file he/she is supposed to be able to
write to with "full controll". But it doesnt do squat. I can access the
shared folder, yes. But I cannot write to this file even thou I have full
controll. I cant even rename or anything else. I can read it.

I would be extremely happy for some help on this. Thanks!

It should be a simply case of having "Read Execute" permissions on the root
folder and then adding "Modify" (no need for full control) to the individual
file. If you copied the file up off a CD check the attributes as it will
probably be marked as Read Only still.

Hi and thanks for reply!

I agree this is what I what as well. But for soem retarded reason this does
not work on a WIndows 2003 domain. Let me give you an example:

1. I create folder "folder" I set filepermissions to Read/Execute.
2. I share the folder with "Read" for usergroup "everyone".
3. All users on domain can now access the shared folder.
4. I create a file in the folder (with admin account of course) called "my
file.txt".
5. I set permissions to user Gabunta in this file to Modify.
6. Admin can write something in this file and save it.
7. User Gabunta opens \\server\folder\my file.txt and can read what admin
has written - BUT when he tries to write something to the file and then save
it he isnt allowed to do that.

The users get the error:

"Cannot create the \\server\folder\my file.txt file.

Make sure that the path and filename are correct."

So, you see there is something else going on here that I cant identify.

Anyone have any bright ideas on why this is happening??!

Thanks in advance!

Share permissions always override ntfs permissions. If you have "Everyone -
Read" on the share then that is all they can do. I recommend that you
EITHER manage share permissions OR NTFS permissions, not both. This is your
problem. Try Everyone Full Control on the Sahre permissions.

Cheers,
Jeremy.

Pardon me, but saying that share permissions always override ntfs isn't
quite correct, is it?

Afaik the rule of share vs ntfs is that the most restrictive one is always
enforced, so in order to make permissions manageable it's best practise to
always leave share permissions at everyone FC and focus on NTFS.
