Hello everyone,

We have a share folder. Underneath that let's say there's an everyone folder which everyone can see and read and write. Underneath the share folder there are other folders which are sales, accounting, etc which should only be accessed by the related departments.

What I want is a sales person to just go into the share drive and only list folders "everyone" and "sales", or when an accounting person logs in I want him to see only "accounting" and "everyone" under the share directory. How can I prevent the sales folder from being seen by accounting personnel and accounting folder from being seen by sales personnel.

Thanks.
 
First of all, you must be using NTFS filesystem.Share the main shared
directory with full access for everyone.then set "directory security" for
every devision to the users of that devision.you must make a group
containing sales personel and give the appropriate access of the sales
directory to that group.for other directories you will do the same.

Except that what I read is that nhagi wants the folders to be invisible
if you don't have permissions to the folder, and as we all know this can
only be done with Novell NOT with Windows permissions
 
Mo is correct.

There is no way to hide the presence of a file or folder from a user based
on permissions.
