In Win2003, what's the best way to enforce a permission that allows Everyone to access a Parent Folder and then only allow user within the Dept. to create a folder within the Subfolder or Child Folder.
I've tried diferent methods but I have yet to find the right solution.

Thanks.
 
what your going to need to do is block inheritance on the child folder, b/c by default it inherits its parent.


Set Everyone access the parent folder. then go to the subfolder and block inheritance, then add the whichever user you want to the folder with read+write perms.

Thanks for your help,

But users still can't create folder within the Dept.
This is my ultimate goal and I was able to accomplish in NT4.0.
1) I want everyone to have access to the [General folder-Read access]. I use [READ-This folder only], removed inheritance.
2) Only users assigned to their [Dept. folder-Modify/Change access]. I placed Dept. Global Group-Modify w/Change Permissions access.
3) I want users to be able to change permissions to their folder inside [Dept. folder/Subfolder-Change access] I want users to be able to deny other users within the Dept..

These are the permissions that I have implemented, however users still can't create a folder inside their own 2) Dept. folder.
I hope this make sense, because I have setup these same permissions in NT4.0 and it's works great. What am I missing or where did I go wrong? Damn you Win2003!
Frustrated. Thanks.
