Permission question

Good day,

I have a server that the permissions have been setup. The folders have been
setup by department and the department it question is the Art department

Now I need to change the folded rights on a folder and it's sub folders to
allow all users access the account so that everyone can open and read the
files.

Currently I have set up the folders by department and the art department has
modify rights to do what they want on this folder. Thus they can create new
folders and so forth. The folder in question is called "Art folder" and
the parent folder is called "Artcomm" and what I am doing is sharing the Art
folder out so that everybody can access the folder and I will give the
folder a drive letter that will allow easy access for all users.

My problem now is rights since the Art department has modify rights and the
art department users are part of the everyone group and I give the everyone
group only read & execute rights and list folder contents and read will that
over right the art departments rights so they can only do what the everyone
group can do. Which is not good. If this is the case how can I set this up
so that the Art department and other group still has rights that they need
and yet the rest of the users have the minimum rights to open and view the
files.

I understand that I will have to go into advanced and uncheck inheritable
permissions and then check replace permission entries on all child objects.
Since I need to get these new rights down to the subfolders and not inherit
the rights of the parent which is Artcomm.

Thanks for your help in this matter

One more thing that I would like to add. I have divided my users also into
groups by department if that helps.

Thanks Again

Do this:
- Give the "Everyone" group "read & execute" rights.
- Give the "Art" group "Modify" rights.

You will find that the "Art" group will NOT be restricted to the
rights granted to the "Everyone" group, even though members
of the "Art" group are also members of the "Everyone" group.
