can I set up subfolders folks can write to on folders they can't?

[margie]

I need do be able to set folder security such that users
cannot write to the folder, however, I would like them to
be able to write to individual subfolders of that folder
that I create... can this be done, and how?
I have tried several things but nothing works yet.

Help!!!

You need to give the users "List" to the main directory. Also, if this is a
share, the share permissions need to be Everyone:F:

Structure:

D:\Home\
D:\Home\USER1
D:\Home\USER2

SHARE -> \\servername\HOME Everyone:F

D:\HOME
System:F
Admin:F
USERS:List


D:\HOME\USER1 (remove inheritance from above)
System:F
Admin:F
USER1:F
[Inherit below]

D:\HOME\USER2 (remove inheritance from above)
System:F
Admin:F
USER2:F
[Inherit below]

If you remove all with CACLS, then apply specific, inheritance will be off.
Now, changing the bit programmatically...maybe from VBScript or C.

Milos,

I do this all the time when setting the security for the
File Servers. For example, if there is a shared folder
called PRIVATE and I do not want people to be able to
create any folders directly in the PRIVATE folder, yet
definitely be allowed to create subfolders in existing
folders then I simply make two sets of permissions on the
PRIVATE share: one for "This Folder Only" and another one
for "Subfolders and Files Only". Works very nicely.

HTH,

Cary
