What permissions do I grant a user to a particular folder
if I want them to do everything EXCEPT delete files and
no full control. If I grant Read & Execute, List, Read,
Write my user is unable to change a file or save as
something else. It seem I have to give them Modify
permissions which also give them the promission to
delete. I don't want that. Any suggestions?
 
There is no work around. If they have modify access then they can delete files. You
can however just give the creator/owner modify permissions which will allow users to
only delete files they create as shown by who is the owner if that helps. Keep in
mind that accidentally deleted files are often recoverable with third party utilities
if you act fast. Windows 2003 offers shadow copy restore of shared folders to help
resolve problem of deleted files. --- Steve
