Prevent folders from moving

Hello! I'm trying to set up NTFS permissions to a parent folder to let a
user add new files into its subfolders and modify files stored in them, but
avoid moving one of these subfolders into another by mistake. This
"mistake" has happened several times.

The tricky thing about this is that subfolders are dynamically created by
another user, making it difficult to change permissions in each subfolder.

Well, I hope I explained myself clearly and that someone has an answer for
this.

Thanks,
Martin
 
You need to make sure that the parent directory does not allow delete
by these users and that container-inherit does not allow delete either.
 
Note that I said "container-inherit". This means that containers (aka
Folders)
that get created will inherit this acl. If I had said "object inherit",
then files
would inherit this ACL.

Give it a whirl!
