Hi.

I want to create the next tree and assign permission, but it doesn't work..

users
--user1
--user2
......
--usern
--public
--publicuser1
--publicuser2
--publicuser3

I have a group called machineUSERS, with all of my user.

What I want to do is assign personal access to the folder user1, user2 for
each user and everybody can access (read/write) to publicuser1, publicuser2,
....

I have problem inheriting in pubic..

Anybody can help me..

My guess is that you will need to *disable* the option to inherit
permissions from the parent for the "public" subfolder. You can have the
subfolders under "public" inherit from parent but will have to disconnect
the "public" folder from the permissions assigned to its parent (the "users"
folder). Then assign Everyone (with whatever permissions you want for that
group), or your special machineUsers group, to the "public" folder and apply
to subfolders.
 
You can add additional explicit permissions to users/groups if inherited
permissions are not enough or go to the advanced page and uncheck "inherit
permissions for parent" at which time you will be asked it you want to copy
or clear current permissions and then modify your permissions to suit your
needs. Another thing to consider is to not make the public folder a
subfolder of the users folder but to add it to the same folder where the
users folder is and then configure permissions. --- Steve
