i allow users to create, amend and delete files

to avoid users completely delete the folder storing the files, how should i
do

if i create a folder with full rights, users can delete the folder too.

if i create a folder with read rights only, users can only read files under
the folder. They cannot save file

How can i allow users to save files in a folder and the folder which they
cannot remove?

thx.
 
If the users can write data, they can already overwrite anything you might
not want to lose. I'd suggest doing regular backups to avoid data loss.

The poster wasn't talking about the ability to write data, but the ability
to delete the directory in which the files resided. Surely, with the
plethora of individual rights that NT supports (beneath the simplified
common rights interface), this should be possible.
