Giving limited permissions to files on server

[Pamelas]

This is a very basic question. I wish to give a couple of people in the organisation, including myself as Admin, full control over access to certain files. I want the rest to have read only.

Will giving Admin and a couple of individuals Full Access and Everyone Read Only achieve this?

I'm concerned that changing Everyone from Special access, as it is set now, to Read Only will lock me out as Admin.

Thanks for your help.

Nope. That will work fine, although the everyone group is a dangerous one to use. You should really use domain users instead.

Thanks for that - much appreciated.
